Right. What im saying is leftists are the same until a policy measure fails then to people on here "its the fault of liberals" as if theyre not the same arm of the constituency. Its just devisive bullshit

So did they vote to keep slavery from their ivory towers, and blame it on neoliberals?

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It looks like the entire state was ignorant or misled by deliberately confusing wording. Down ballot voters were more likely to check "no". Had they used the word slavery in the measure it would have more likely have passed like it did in a variety of other states that, wait for it, are liberal

Okay, so the neoliberals that are the actual problem chose poor wording so they could trick the liberals into voting to keep slavery?

Were the changes to the LA budget the product of "ancient federal and state laws" or neoliberals now?

Are all the politicians neoliberals, or just most with power in the state?
