i couldn't even believe that was on the goddamned ballot.. why are we voting on this, why not just fucking do it?

it was hilarious that the ballot said there were no opposition groups

and yet it loses

Prop 36 already passed overwhelmingly

Close enough welcome back the confederacy

43% of the votes have been counted. That 53% ‘no’ vote represents about 23% of the total expected votes. Broadly speaking, the first votes counted are from small and rural areas, and the last votes counted are from mail-in and urban areas. The first group tends to lean conservative, and the last tends to lean liberal or progressive or whatever. California is frequently pretty dogshit politically, but we aren’t going to know any results until like tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. People are happy to call it for Harris because it’s California, but for actually competitive issues it takes hours if not days. Something like 30% of votes were mail-in this year, and they couldn’t legally open those until the physical polls were closed.

San Francisco has also taken a hard shift to the far right. lmao this country is so fucking cooked. US is the headquarter of reactionaries.

I think I underestimated how reactionary Americans are. I dont understand how you can see "prohibit slavery" and then be like, no actually I like that thank you.

Only trans people should be allowed to vote. If you arent doing the pokey, you shouldnt be doing the votey

Greatest evidence that Dems are no different to Conservatives.

Heritage not hate huh

They would vote to turn every inmate into Soylent Green if they could. The average American loves cruelty.

Hostility towards the homeless, poor and downtrodden here has been rising sharply sadly, especially since covid forced more people to the streets.

California honestly makes me fucking vomit. Just awful state.

Sherman should have marched to the other sea as well
