To be fair, and that’s being very fair, it does end with “allowing involuntary servitude as a punishment for crime” and a case could be made for confusing wording.
But only as a punishment for a crime. Like the new felony theft of a toothbrush from the other proposition we have definitely passed. (Made what was previously misdemeanor theft into felony theft, and yes we still have a 3 strikes law to imprison you for life.)
California is not some progressive bastion. It’s a conservative state that doesn’t bother the LGBTQ community.
I keep telling people I think it’ll flip in our lifetime. Too many kids growing up without the faintest idea of how wealthy they are in the bay (and the valley/NorCal are conservative anyway). Unearned wealth directly leads to conservatives for a lot of people
