And I now see your reply to your other comment (it didn't load until after I asked on this one).

Has this been reported yet? Hadn't seen this on hexbear yet

Yeah, it has been reported here, here, and here. I don't think anyone linked that exact Financial Ttimes x thread you linked though.

I did already put the ballot in the box but yes it looks like we're in complete agreement. I went with NO on 34 as I learned more about what it really was, partly thanks to another reply I got here. I still very much appreciate your response though and that guide does appear to be good and helpful. Maybe I can consult it on the next round of the electoralism circus, but more importantly if it's put together by some actual comrades who are organizing locally, that is worth looking into.

I was reluctant on 2 because I used to work at a community college back when another bond got passed. I was happy to see that it meant a much needed new building was set to be built. Even though there were time limits and stipulations on when it had to be done, they dragged their feet and it took almost a decade to happen (by that time I was gone). But I was still there long enough to watch the president of the college give himself and all his immediate associates massive bonuses. They may have done that anyway, but all the faculty (who were facing pay cuts if they weren't tenured, so most of them) said that it was the bond money that allowed the president to hand out raises to his favorite sycophants while cutting the staff and faculty. Soured me on ever wanting to vote for bonds with the purpose of improving schools. But on the other hand, the schools do need it, and if any of it really does get to them, then, probably the right thing.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought 34 was written really suspiciously. I saw that there were some groups claiming exactly what you said, that it was targeting the AIDS foundation, but most of these groups have names that sound like good advocacy groups even when they're not. (Unless "family" is in the name, then it's usually a sure bet they're the vile fundamentalist rich chud-adjacent ones). Fucking slimeball shitstains though, the billionaire landlords. It will almost for sure pass.

Thank you for the response, it's helpful. I think I'll go ahead with yes on 2 but I now know it should be NO for 34.

I have zero emotional attachment to her, but I also recognize that not an insignificant number of people look to her, especially the budding political activists of her generation, as a kind of benchmark for the rare genuine politically-aware activist that sometimes gets the limelight. She is influential in that respect. It's similarly why so many chuds and now libs hate her. I want her to get it right because I want those who look to her to get it right too. But if people in this thread really are getting too attached, then I agree that's not a good thing.

Is there anyone who doesn't mind outing themselves as living in California who wants to share how they voted on the California shit?

I was reading @[email protected]'s comment here and I responded:

Would you mind sharing what you recommend for the different props? I'm voting right now (at home with a mail in ballot I get to drop off at a polling station in a few hours) and wouldn't mind your opinion. For California state wide, it seems almost everything is good except for 36. So far I've got YES on 3, 4, 5, and 6. YES on 32, 33, and 35. Big fucking NO on 36. I'm thinking it should be YES for 2 and 34 but I can see how potentially those could just be rich "administrators" (the capitalists who own private schools and medical facilities respectively) pocketing the proceeds.

Also yes, Kopmala can burn in hell. I'm voting Claudia of course (De La Cruz).

Any Hexbear but especially Californian input is welcome.

It's true. But this is something that should be rectified.
