    Paid shills. Look into the california case further, and you’ll see the companies were lobbying their asses off to twist reality. Including several cases where they paid actors or their contractors to puppet their speaking points in ads and on social media.

    They didn’t convince the workers. Bt they only had to spend the money to convince the general public.

    It worked.

    Even on you. You actually think the workers themselves voted against their own interests, and hence you don’t feel for them.

      I don’t think fondly of the people who voted for Trump, either. If you drink the Kool-Aid because the guy handing it out said it was fine, after being warned about the potential outcome of said Kool-Aid repeatedly by everyone else, at some point you share in the blame for the outcome.

        Ok.

        Then what is your solution short of executing these people?

        If you want the next vote to go according to reality, your solution MUST include getting people to change their minds.

        You don’t do that by going “lol you guys shat your beed, now sleep in it”.

        You claim they were repeatedly told and warned, but the fact that things went the way they did, proves they weren’t.

        You’re only blaming them, because it’s easier than acknowledging that more should have been done.

        Your apathy and dispassion on the matter is literally part of the problem, and one of the things the lobbying done by these companies sets out to achieve.

          You and many of these other replies are acting like lobbying only happens one way and is the sole reason for shit like this. Lobbying works both ways. There was considerable campaigns ran against the corporate interests, too, in favor of pushing the new law forward.

          Then what is your solution short of executing these people?

          First of all, I said I find it hard to sympathize with people who vote against their best interest. If you took that as a suggestion of executing people you are out of your damn head and I would thank you not to put words in my fucking mouth.

          Second, the problem is the complete lack of critical thinking that leads to people being persuaded by the highest conflict of interest invested in keeping the status quo while you’re being fucked over. To start, we should be better funding the education system in this country instead of funding Israel to bomb the fuck out of Palestinians and shit.

            Clearly, not enough effective ones.

            First of all, I said I find it hard to sympathize with people who vote against their best interest. If you took that as a suggestion of executing people you are out of your damn head and I would thank you not to put words in my fucking mouth.

            The point is, you have to sympathize. That’s literally step one of changing anyone’s mind. If you cant pull that one off, you’ve already failed.

            The only alternative is the other extreme. If you can’t get people to vote differently, the only option you have left is to remove them entirely.

            To start, we should be better funding the education system.

            So are you blaming the people too uninformed to vote for their own interests, or not? Cuz this sounds like exactly the kind of thinking I’m trying to tell you to engage in instead of the “it’s their own fault, fuckem”-attitude you walked in with.
