California has free, open, and fair elections every cycle. Since they've gone to non-gerrymandered voting districts it has been obvious that the current era Republican party is woefully out of touch with most Californians. But there's nothing putting a finger on the scale for the Democrats. Republicans are free to field competetive candidates any time.
So please stop insinuating that CA is some kind of dictatorship or totalitarian enforcing 1-party rule. That's blatantly wrong, and you know it.
- exclusiv 6y agoMany of CA's problems stem from the propositions that voters buy (are sold) into.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoCorrection: many of CA’s problems arise from being able to simultaneously approve/preserve propositions and cut their funding. Edit: my great state of WA has this problem as well, it’s just not as much of a circus in practice because there’s a lot more investment in CA politics.
