Being against prop 25 was dumb if you’re a liberal. I’m sorry, but it’s keeping the bad because you’re unable to get the perfect. The bail-bond industry is the nut fucking low. If they’re on any side of a bill, you should by reflex be on the opposite side of that bill.

There’s no case.
That sounds perfectly logical. I probably should have voted the other way.
My only point is this shit should never go to the voters in the first place. It’s too complicated - especially when you see the ACLU come out for it. I want Ted Lieu to become an expert and decide for me. I vote for him specifically so I don’t have to micromanage complex legislation by myself like this.
Should I start putting the ACLU in the Glenn Greenwald-sideye category?

Nothing says “the country has to come first” like voting for Donald Trump twice.

So, ACLU is a bunch of dumb liberals?
Just because the ACLU is on one side of an issue doesn’t mean they’re right about it. They also sued to make sure the armed nazis could riot with guns in Charlottesville.
It also doesn’t make them dumb.
Do a proposition on abolishing propositions.
Totally agree that legislators>voters for picking laws.

The vast majority of our legslators are corrupt piece of shit Republicans.
Voters picked 15/h min wage in Florida.
Voters picking laws is WAY better. We should abolish congress and have voters just vote on laws. That would get a ton of SUPER population legislation passed. We could probably get M4A passed by voters, background checks on guns etc and a ton of other super popular shit.
Thinking legislators are better is insane to me.

I think I just saw a bunch of angry Guatemalans who would beg to differ.
Like voters all across the country voted for medical and legal marijuana.
Voters in AZ voted to publicly fund campaigns against the super rich. Was a great fucking idea until the piece of shit supreme court struck it down.
lol at thinking our reps are better at picking laws than us. All the most progressive shit gets passed by straight voters. Felons being able to vote in Florida… until legislators completely fucked that up.
Our system would be WAY better if voter decided policy

now they’re insisting doug colllins really won too
keep pushing that one in georgia thanks
it’d die pretty fast when they realize they can just give all the money to themselves. Never enough to satisfy that mindset it usually quickly collapses
Yea but Hogan is basically telling Trump if he did his job to begin with, he wouldn’t have had to buy that batch in the first place.

So one of my parents might be disenfranchised. Nice, that’s nice.
As opposed to the current system where the top 1% buys off politicians and gives all the money to themselves?

Our current system funnels wealth to the elite.

I made a chart of the props and what the ACLU, the dems, the reps and the Chamber of Commerce recommended. Obviously I was going with the Ds and the ACLU mostly, but for 2 or 3 I had to go off the board.
