They managed to vote the worst way on like 80% of the ballot measures

Who the fuck opposes rent control? Who's against employee protections for Uber drivers?

Even Florida voted to raise their minimum wage.

    as a [redacted] resident I saw the prop 22 ad over 50 times the past month, and I don't even use uber. the brute force of that ad campaign was fucking astonishing and disgusting

    even worse that my partner does legal work specifically to stop prop 22 and educate Californians about how harmful it is, and we had to watch those fucking ads every day, over and over, for over a month

    btw, on the ballots themselves it straight-up lies about what the props actually do -- in a shockingly similar way that the ads on props lie (hmm) about what they actually do. haha go figure

    every fucking prop is worded so you have no idea what the hell you're voting for in the ballot booth, and the "for" and "against" supposedly "neutral" descriptions of each prop are also complete bullshit and equally confusing to read; so its not even that californians are just stupid/dont want rent control, which of course they still are by and large, but they're also openly lied to about what they're even voting on, which they dont understand bc theyre libs

      For real, I had to take out my voting guide the state gave me and then double checked it online.

        yup, bc ofc it isnt illegal to bombard every media outlet in CA with outright lies about a ballot measure that PERMANENTLY denies healthcare to a MASSIVE number of people
