Newsom can no longer mandate how many times you must chew before swallowing your piece of Thanksgiving turkey all alone with a mask on.

Well at least they haven't really fucked us this time. Prop 22 passed, which is a cluster fuck on top of a pre-existing cluster fuck.

They do routinely vote for more taxes in a state that has the highest. It's beyond confusing to me

This one is still undecided. Needless to say the fallout from this passing will be significant if it does.

It's easy to vote for new taxes when they are being told that they aren't the ones that will pay them.

You do realize the article you linked was from is 17 hours old and references the early returns right?  I was watching the votes as they came in and at one point it was 51/49 in favor of yes then it was 50/50 while yes was still winning slightly.  Currently it's at 51.7/48.3 in favor of no while there's a difference of 400K votes:

Says 100% of precincts reporting but not final/certified yet.  Thankfully I think enough sane people didn't buy the "think of the school children" rallying cry and realized this expense would be passed on to consumers while making CA an even less business friendly state.

as a general rule I almost always vote no on California props. Every once in a while I'll vote yes on one but most are really stupid. Like allowing parolees to vote. I'm fine with it once they've done their time and demonstrate they aren't a criminal anymore

Uh...that's exactly what the proposition accomplishes.

They aren't done until they complete their parole. Parole is still part of their conviction and sentence

I'm pretty happy with the outcomes.  I've got family members who work at dialysis clinics and it's a good thing 23 was a no doubter especially since voters already shot something similar down last election.

The for-profit dialysis companies all sunk in tens of millions of dollars in their vote no campaign, which is why I voted yes.

Any ballot that pushes the think of the children should be voted down. By now there have been so many think of the children tax increase the children should be able to afford a house at the beach and three Porsches.

I vote "yes" on the "think of the children" props just so that Blarg will never be able to afford a Porsche.

I've already had two Mercedes SLK that are equivalent to Porsche Cayman in prices so all you have really done is try and insure you will never be able to afford either. Good job, dumbass.
