GMO labeling is mostly advocated by conservative aligned conspiracy theorists.

Most liberals oppose GMO labeling (Sanders is an exception).

I would say its definitely advocated more by liberals than conservatives.

Well, you say a lot of things that aren't true. It's never stopped you before.

Can I just say I'm astounded that King County has a countywide Republican elected official, even if it's a prosecutor?

He’s actually pretty liberal, too. Definitely a RINO

Europe is more liberal than America and they were the ones who did this


Also Jeff Merkley is a liberal and he supports gmo labeling too : https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/03/gmo_labeling_fight_still_alive.amp

California rejected a death penalty repeal twice and actually voted to speed up the process. I think this will end up as a veto referendum and shot down by voters.

Some justice reforms I'd like to see immediately:
1. Stop trying juveniles as adults/ stop sentencing them to life imprisonment

2. Reserve life imprisonment for violent crimes (premeditated murder, rape, etc.)

3. Stop recidivism by rehabilitating prisoners and not treating them like animals.

4. A complete end of for-profit-prisons.

5.  Universal end of the death penalty.

It takes a lot of signatures to get an override referendum on non-fiscal matters here

Good, I hope this passes. Hopefully revenge fantasies won't get in the way of reason.

On GMOs, the actual science is a lot more convoluted than either hippies or the "le science!" Internet crowd would have you believe. I'm personally ambivalent about labelling because I think people have the right to know but it's arguably pointless because most non-GMO products are labelled as such already.
