I'll go first. I had a take that if you see a bunch of advertisements saying to vote no on prop x, and nearly none saying yes on prop x, you should probably vote yes. Because if big money is behind an effort to sway towards no, there's probably corruption in the ranks.
left then, left now: i couldn't care less about free speech, talk shit get hit
lib then, lib now: "checks and balances" stuff are good and no matter which kind of philosophy of governance you choose(socialist, liberal etc.) they assure that one man or a small group of people can't derail the system
