    Fuck the proposition system it's not the people's job to write laws in a representative democracy. Yes some props marginally improve things or otherwise can be seen as "good", but the system as a whole is just another tool for painting consent. The majority of props are like a mini "do you want Kamala or do you want Pence?" decision it's pathetic.

    A prop will be like "we'll feed some starving children but we're obviously taking most of the money" and it's like wtf enough - put a name behind these monstrosities

    The mere fact that Uber can put a prop on the ballot to repeal a law that was already passed specifically targeting them is evidence enough to be rid of them

      and that prop is polling pretty well rn, though at the very least, most undecideds are libs/dems so at least they have a chance of voting against it.
