Well that and add in almost anyone who can pay minimum wage and or get volunteers to annoy people at stores or any other place where there are lots of people, can get very stupid shit up for vote. Toss in that if someone does something even slightly unpopular to whatever special interest and their are instant talks of strikes and potential recalls. Then water heavily with people that want everything but will not pay for anything and you nailed it.
