Prop 22 was carefully crafted to give drivers enough benefits that it would reach popular support. If it just invalidated AB5 it wouldn't have passed. This means that democracy worked, instead of making gig work illegal prop 22 made gig work get guaranteed benefits without making them employees. Seems like a much better solution to me. To me the big question is why so many democrats are against this? Why do they have to be employees instead of its own category with its own protections?
