California voters have rejected Prop 32, which would have raised the state’s minimum wage from $16 to $18.
With 100% of the ballots tallied, the measure was rejected by a 0.8% margin (50.8 - 49.2), according to the California Secretary of State’s office. The total vote difference for the proposition was 234,146.
You’re basically saying you voted against it because it was only 3/4 of what you wanted, with zero downsides.
“You mean the poor would make ~13% more, and it’s actually pegged to something, instead of relying on a plutocratic political class to decree raises when they see fit!?! Absolutely fucking not!”
This is the dumbest take I have heard in a long time. This take is so mentally deficient it is special needs.
