  Republicans want to fuck your kids.

  I hate that it's 2026 and it's still legal in places

  Excellent! I had been keeping an eye on this one and while it’s not a surprise it passed this time, it’s such a relief.

    Absolutely fucked that it's a thing that happened now and not a century (or any longer time) ago.

      There are many states that still allow child marriage as well. It's depressing.

  Pretty telling that it required a 9 year fight. In one of the "liberal states." Ugh. But good news, I suppose.

    They won because after the fight hit 9 years old some of the opponents lost interest

    the people in the 2 largest bubbles are liberal and those bubbles outnumber the rest of the state, but they keep voting in conservative governments nonetheless just like the rest of the united states does -- what americans consider liberal is centrist to the rest of the world, so the american government, including calfiornia, will always lean center-right.

    that's why we have trump right now and there will be atleast one more in the future.
