Dear California voters, YES on prop 40 (which is the wealth tax that Brin, Thiel, and the rest of Silicon Valley tech-bros hate) & then NO on props 41 and 42 (which are bankrolled by the same billionaires trying to get you to vote No on 40... because 41 and 42 are meant to neuter 40 if it passes)

Every single registered voter is voting. If you fill in a ballot, your voting for your side. If you stay home and hope someone else will save your province, you’re voting for their side. Democracy is NOT a spectator event. Get in the game.

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.
