‼️Carlifomia State Assembly votes to allow purchase of sex for underage people.
The Democratic Party leaning legislators votes 55 against 21.
The bill in question, AB 379, was originally designed to make it a felony to purchase sex from anyone under 18, including 16- and 17-year-olds, and to provide more support for trafficking survivors.
Historical context shows California Democrats have repeatedly resisted harsher penalties for child s*x trafficking, as seen in failed bills like SB 14 in 2023, which was blocked despite bipartisan Senate support, reflecting a tension between progressive decarceration goals and public demand for tougher laws on child exploitation

This are the Democrats some people support and cry for to have won US 2024 elections.
Truthfully, Satan is human and real.
