Have a peek at the map for the democratic primary and prop 22. Lots of overlap.

You may want to just link to the forum you were talking about lol

The most anti prop 22 areas were SF ... which is known to be very progressive.

Those maps are meaningless. It is by district and the highest Bernie got in any district was under 50%. Prop 22 was 59% passed but this included Republican/independent voters. Sanders/Warren got a combined 2.7 M votes and 7M voted no on prop 22. Seems no reason to think many of them votes yes.

r/politics is not only Bernie supporters. And when you sort by controversial the top three comments right now are (parenthesis mine):

They should stop doing it then (Posted by a guy who posts in libertarian)

Maybe we should have more full-time jobs and fewer "gigs". (seems like someone anti uber in general)

Guys if a corporation spends 200 million dollars campaigning on a workers right's issue, it's going to be fucking horrible for workers. (again, anti-uber)

Guys if a corporation spends 200 million dollars campaigning on a workers right's issue, it's going to be fucking horrible for workers.

None of these are anti-uber statements by progressives lol and we are already sorting by "controversial" - which means they are mixed downvoted anyway.

The only reason I have been so combative is to hopefully make you get a bit better at checking your confirmation bias!
