It was total nonsense and it said something about we should be voting for people we want to get in. I hated the idea of disenfranchising a whole party and I'm a lifelong democrat. When I lived in the Antelope Valley there were a number of times when the only person I could vote for was a republican

I don't know the machine, but you can tell when it kicks in. The same campaign they used to beat prop 40. I talked to people who said either I didn't vote for it because it didn't go far enough or I didn't vote for it because it was going to tax me.

It's like the machine turns off critical thinking. I mean the no on 40 campaigns highlighted lower middle-class folks saying that it was going to affect them. A billionaire tax that was going to affect about 200 people and the no on 40 people made you feel like it was going to affect you, immediately.

evilly brilliant
