Besides the POTUS and senate races there are a lot of state specific propositions that passed or failed which to me are much more telling about America.

I'll start off with one that I find particularly interesting .

Californians rejected affirmative action in Tuesday’s election, opposing the repeal of a 1996 ban on considering race and gender in public hiring, college admissions and contracting.

Proposition 16, placed on the ballot by the Democratic-controlled Legislature, was failing 56% to 44% as votes continued to be counted. It sought to repeal Proposition 209, which barred the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any person or group based on race, sex, ethnicity or nationality.

Huge win for equality. Apparently most Californians don't believe forcing schools and employers to admit or hire based on race gender sexual orientation should be a thing.

Biden's campaign was wise to stay away from topics like reparations or highlighting BLM too much. It was a losing issue. If California rejected these SJW asks Biden would probably lost some key battleground states if he leaned too heavily on these.

related: 7 states remain with no legal form of pot.

7/50, that's it.

not without decriminalization, 7 with no medical and/or recreational.

i can drive a few hours in ANY direction and buy legal pot, then get 10 years driving home.
