Prop 50

Californians, including me, have been asked to vote on Proposition 50, which was designed by Democrats to suppress the state Republican vote. 

50 is a response to MAGA suppressing Democratic voters in other states. 

I have considered a few principles. 

1. An Eye for an Eye

This ancient principle, associated with Hammurabi, was republished in the Torah and the Old Testament. Its purpose is to limit damage. 

2. Tit for Tat

If you do to your opponent exactly what she did to you, the folly of aggression may be clarified for both parties. (Avoid tit for TAT.)

3. Fight Fire with Fire

Proposition 50 addresses Fascism, not a fire. Should we fight Fascism with Fascism? 

My hope is that the gerrymander in Texas will backfire (that sometimes happens in these cases). There is at least a chance that Texas MAGA will lose seats. (Probably not.)

I oppose voter suppression, so I will vote no on 50. I don't belong to a political party, because I  oppose voter suppression etc. But 50 is favored to pass easily.
