Maybe you're not aware, but prop 22 actually passed and helps gig economy companies like DoorDash.

remote_phone's comment suggests that he is referring to AB 5, not proposition 22. Aside from the confusion of names (which is understandable, since prop 22 is nothing but a modification of AB 5), the comment makes sense.
And a majority of gig workers also were in favor of it.
Desperate people tend to be in favor of things that let them keep their jobs, regardless of how exploitative and shitty. This is not a good argument in support of anything.
Is there a source for that?
Yes I meant AB5, my mistake.
