As someone who voted "against" Uber/Lyft, I can promise you their PACs misleading and blatantly false propaganda regarding the city ordinance directly caused them to lose my vote. That and people love getting 4 fliers per day in their mailbox.
Good riddance.

Cool, but your vote has little to do with the political reality that pushed the initiative to politicians putting it up to vote.
Well then share what you heard.
