I can't speak for New York but the irony in California is that Political patisanship, almost universally considered a bad thing, is now our only hope. Because right now the Dems have all the power. The Republicans literally have no say now. So if California falls it will be the biggest repudiation of liberal ideas probably ever. So without the rest of the countries help our only hope lies in the Democratic legislature being dedicated to their philosophy enough to make it succeed at all cost.

Some people may dislike partisanship, but do you really think most partisanship-haters despise 'majority-rules' voting? I mean, most elected governing bodies operate under majority-rules and it seems to work pretty well. Giving the CA legislature the ability to pass a budget without a supermajority doesn't seem related to partisanship at all: its about a fixing an institutional rules defect.
