    The only thing that pissed me off more than Trump winning, was seeing how many good Props failed, and bad ones passed.

    I’m glad we made LGBT marriage part of our constitution, but jesus christ the voting base here is NIMBYs, NeoLibs, and Conservatives.

      My guess is that all those people who didn’t show up to vote dem weren’t around to vote for the other dem items.

        There was a certain irony in ranked choice ballot initiatives failing while the same people that didn’t show up complained about both candidates being “exactly the same” or to punish the Democratic party.

      Can you expand on that? Good news in American politics would be a nice change.

        • California made it in the constitution that marriage is between two people, gender or sex is not considered what counts
        • And we also made it so Medi-Cal gets a permanent chunk of funding no matter what the budget is doing.
