I said this elsewhere, but “minimum wage go up” is hard to spin in a dishonest way, whereas Prop 22 is written pretty confusingly, which is the point. It’s not always talked about a lot, but there is usually a huge power struggle behind the scenes to have control over how a proposition is worded, and it absolutely can affect how people vote on it. It’s the difference between a M4A prop that says “Vote Yes to enact Medicare for All” and “Vote Yes to let the government decide when you die by changing your health insurance.” That’s not even getting into the money and power being the Yes on 22 campaign.
