Wtf California you were supposed to be one of the good ones
California is a conservative state. They all are. The left is a minority everywhere, unfortunately.
As someone from Europe I always laugh when I hear conservatives saying that dems are far left or too left, when they’re more center right.
Same here, i gave up trying to point this out.
Chris Hedges did a good take on it way back when Biden won.
People are so fucking stupid, I’ve had it with this shit hole country.
The wealthy speak through their payments to campaigns against the people.
Little did you know, when the right wants to go back to the 50’s, it’s the 1850’s.
Why would anyone vote to increase taxes on health insurance? Bizarre.
The reasoning is that CA uses that tax money in addition to a match provided by the federal government to balance the budget. I’m not a fan of not making it permanent, but the flexibility of re-authorizing the tax each cycle has been very helpful to making sure the CA budget is level. That tax money is returned to the healthcare providers through Medi-Cal so they aren’t really losing anything I think, but the matched money from the federal government can be moved around. Something like that.
I found the federal elections to be exactly what I expected, but I was surprised at the ballot questions here (as well as my local elections where everyone I voted for lost too).
Aren’t only half the votes counted in this though?
Yes. Only the bottom 3 in the pucture have been called.
The top 3 haven’t been called yet, but aren’t looking good.
