    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.

        • 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.
