Just because a bill is submitted doesn't mean it's not immediately dead on arrival. Some bills are submitted just so a politician can say "I submitted the bill, but it was <other party> that killed it".
- claydavisss 7y agowhat "other party"? State Republicans don't have the votes to stop anything, they are virtually extinct. If a bill dies in Sacramento, it dies because (and only because) Democrats wanted it to die.

- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoNot all Democrats within California Democratic party sit at the exact same point on the political spectrum. Some are more neoliberal & centrist, and others are more socialist Democrat. By submitting this bill, it could signal the expectation that centrist democrats need to move further left. Given CA is mostly a one-party state, it's more about intraparty influence over the party's platform, than it is about blaming the "other" party.
