Measure R which provides police accountability and forces the county to come up with a plan to reduce prison populations is absolutely crushing it, 70-30%

sincx posted:https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1235073311861698560 SMART still has nine years of tax money from the 2008 Measure Q that established it. They’ve established the line all the way to Larkspur Landing and should have time to restructure their plans and come back to voters again. They oughta cancel their expansion plans and focus on adding stations and increasing frequency on the existing rail.

Kill Bristol posted:Yeah the UCSC strikers are unquestionably in the right overall, but the one area I think they’re wrong is evidently one of the same organizations behind the strike opposed the construction of new housing on campus (this is from the UCSC reddit, could be totally wrong). They just shot down my local ballot item that would have allowed apartment buildings over 2 stories near the rail station. “Ah nobody wants to live by a train! We don’t want a city full of renters!” Told one of them investors are buying houses just to rent them out and got told back something like “Yeah but people that rent houses are better neighbors than regular renters” God I can’t wait for boomers to loving leave Earth.

Wow the school bonds statewide prop failed. Those are usually slam dunks. San Jose Measure E just barely got passed, which is surprising since I figured a tax on real estate transactions would get smacked down as being too close to an attack on Prop 13. Supposedly it's going to help fund affordable housing but all the funds raised by it go straight into the general fund so lol who knows if they'll keep that promise.

Similar to the areas rejecting the increase in sales tax for transportation. I haven't lived in California in a while, but I get the impression people are just getting stretched way too thin.

So lets talk about LA voting. Completely new system, new locations, new hardware. Everybody I know in a populated area who voted on Tuesday had lines. It doesn't appear to be lack of machines, my tiny location had like 40 and a number weren't being used because they couldn't' get voters to them fast enough. The prevailing thing I saw was that most folks did not realize that the vote centers had been open for 3-10 days before Tuesday. I did use the online Poll Pass feature and it was smooth as hell. Also you get like 4 different chances to make sure your vote is correct. The results website is pretty, at least. https://results.lavote.net/#year=2020&election=4085

So I register as "no party preference." I swear in every previous primary election I had Dems and Independents on my ballot, but no Republicans. This year I had no candidates on my ballot, and my voter packet said I had to fill out a form and request a Democratic ballot, which of course I didn't see until yesterday. Am I dumb or did they change how the party preference ballot works? Not that it matters, but maybe I could have pushed Tulsi to 0.8%.

Cup Runneth Over posted:just lol if you didn't vote for Bernie yesterday Most people didn't, which is depressing but whatever. As a party, we're basically ruled by the professional managerial class + boomer olds that live in the suburbs and thinks America is a-ok and just wants civility and norms and for poors and minorities to quietly die out of sight without raising a fuss both domestically and abroad. MLK got it. Also the fact that (anecdotal) Bernie turned out a bunch of new older voters who got cold feet at the voting booth and voted for Biden is really depressing. I'm not a doomer but it's hard not to eat the black pill at this point. I might have licked it a bit. Megaman's Jockstrap fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Mar 4, 2020 |

Too stoned to to actually look up what's on the ballot? I'm also NPP, but I asked for a Dem ballot when I walked in, got sent to a side table where a dude spent a minute typing the info from the back of my voter info packet into his tablet, asked me to sign here, and handed me the ballot I wanted to vote on. One of these days I'm going to remember to get that changed perminantly.

I mean otherwise I like the fact that they're mailing out ballots, they have ballot boxes open (Are those changes state wide or just my county?)

DSA member Nithya Raman has almost certainly forced a run-off with Councilmember David Ryu. Also DA Jackie Lacey has dropped to 50.14 percent and is dangerously close to a run-off with hundreds of thousands of votes still to tally, that like 2016 will likely skew progressive. Lacey dropped .5 percent by the 112k ballots that were just counted.
