    My bff lived in CA for about 5 years and the ballot questions drove her crazy. It's not that she's not an incredibly informed and engaged voter who cares deeply about policy; it's just that she already had a job and she felt that politicians were people she hired to do this.

    @psoul I am so thankful for those who take the time to analyze the propositions and explain what, why, why not. It's way more complex than whats on the surface. Sounds good, might not be good. Or it has ulterior motives. Ugh. We. Made it through yesterday sitting outside with only one cat to harass us and sit on papers.

    It only took me seconds to fill out my ballot. A volunteer for Steve Hilton dropped off a VERY comprehensive voters guide, and I simply chose the opposite of each recommendation.

    @Lightfighter 26 propositions in SF California. 14 state wide, 12 in the city. That’s what I call direct democracy 🦅🇺🇸
    Special thanks to the zombie dialysis prop that keeps coming back, this time in the form of a health clinic spending measure…

    @psoul Most of ours are astroturfed right-wing nonsense that will never pass. Considering we have about the population of Los Angeles, 14 is more than enough.

    @Lightfighter the ones in California and San Francisco actually have substance. Mayoral power reorganization, ballot measure signature threshold, transit funding, state budget stuff. Stuff that direct democracy is meant for.
    There’s a few right wing ones such as the voter ID requirement in one and a pile of shit billionaire pet project one about funding immunology research for that one lab at UCLA but overall happy with direct democracy.
