IMO we need to repeal Prop 14 / 2010, the “Top Two Primaries” Act. I’m not saying Republicans are any better than Democrats. I’d pick neither if there was an actual choice (there isn’t thanks to that law). What I am saying, the current SuperMajority has substituted “collegiality” for critical thought and imposing tough choices, and chooses instead to vote as a bloc, called by the Quarterback of their house. The Capitol is literally full of mostly empty suits. Empty until some agenda to benefit their corporate donors is in play.
Having lived through it, I can say the gridlock of the past was preferable to what we have now.
The bad part about Prop 14, it’s only reversible through another ballot initiative. Without a groundswell of support to get this changed, someone is going to have to raise tens of millions to pay for the signature collection and the media campaign.
- masonic 7y agoit’s only reversible through another ballot initiative It was a Constitutional Amendment. It can replaced by another Constitutional Amendment, which can come via the Legislature or via initiative. Whichever process is used, it must be approved by popular vote, but only a simple majority.
