California May Have Voted to Keep Slavery in Prisons
Wrt rent control (Prop 33) there were constant TV ads spreading lies about it restricting the construction of new housing and removing some nebulous protections for the elderly and veterans.
Ballot elections like these are one of the clearest examples of bourgeois democracy at work.
Rent control is also the oldest thing I've ever seen propagandised on reddit.
Even before Reddit took off with the Digg exodus, any thread about rent on reddit would have a "rent control doesn't work" highly upvoted chain of comments and people blowing smoke about how it's proven over and over and economic bullshittery.
It is the oldest and most embedded piece of propaganda on that hellsite.

I saw yard signs for it in front of the most opulent houses on my route
I wonder how far away you have to get from the state boundary for the hysterical cries of “sieg heil” to die down
Makes me wonder if there's actually any truth to the claim that Democrats would have won if they'd went further left. It seems that even deep blue states tilt pretty far right.
Apparently minimum wage, abortion, and similar things passed in other paces, including places that have a rep for being worse than california (debatable if they actually are worse than cali.)
a lot of americans have no understanding of what policy does, the entire country is stuck in this "Nothing ever happens (to me)" bubble and when the consequences of their actions come knocking it's like a dog getting reprimanded for shitting on the floor a week ago, there's no correlation.
Typical Commiefornia amirite?
