      It was a really bad year for California props, people just took a hard right turn.

      No to: raise the minimum wage, provide housing, abolish slavery

      Yes to: harsher sentencing and some weird vendetta a rich guy has against an AIDS nonprofit

      Motherfuckers complain about homeless population nonstop and then refuse to pass anything to fix it.
