Watched my wife fill in her mail-in ballot tonight, and I've gotta say: There's no way the average voter in California understands the implications of more than 10% of what they're voting for

This sort of vote should be left to professionals that understand it. We the people can vote for who understands it though... to a degree of efficiency...

Try doing research on any of the justices up for vote. I found it incredibly difficult to do any research on the convictions of those in judgement seats. So I gave up after about 30 min.

Only one that makes sense is prop 7. More daylight in evening = yes. Sunset earlier = No.

My solution is to request an absentee ballot and spend my free time for a few days chewing on each prop researching online. No way I'd be able to make an informed decision otherwise. And I still usually only have time to research five or six propositions.

Yep. This is the sort of stuff that would be good to discuss with folks like IDW. If you try to have conversation about "direct democracy is broken & doesn't scale" with muggles, you'll end up with a polarized shitshow, for the same meta-reason. /CC

No kidding. There were 48 issues on my ballot. You could spend an entire workweek analyzing all this and still not be informed.

Does Cali also have the "Arguements for" and "Arguments against" pages on their ballots? I read the arguments for the ballot props in Nevada and had less idea of what the proposals' effects would be than I did before starting.

Nothing California does is good. Everything leads to you paying higher taxes out of your paycheck.
