what's crazy is if you say this in /r/California

you get a lot of bots telling you that you should vote no instead because it's actually "bad and will long term hurt"

I feel like state and city specific subreddits are always flooded with right wing nutters. On my local city subreddit, I had someone tell me "city run grocery stores are North Korea" and get upvoted. And /r/California is awash with billionaire apologia, it's crazy.
