Your premise is that California is "bad," but dumb people, like me, are not sure what all leads to it being bad. I think of New York as being "bad." I think everybody has known that New York has a corrupt government, and the same with Chicago; and you are thinking that there is some way to compel change by pointing out something that they have known for a long time, already???
You make a good Democrat politician.
Are you familiar with the Seventeenth Amendment - it covers up the problem of states in disarray.
The 17th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
Bad amendment.
Don't think any reasonable people want to live in a one party state. I left after YEARS of playing defense against overwhelming odds about bad Dem policy out there as a Libertarian.. We were the ONLY folks writing the "Official Voter's Handbook" opposition statements to all the bad bond issues and voting reforms..
Funny that you mention the 17th Amendment because the "revolutionaries" out that spend more time working on MAKING Cali a one party state than do governing, FINALLY FIXED the "17th Amendment that YOU think is a problem.. We FOUGHT the "Top Two" primary system on the Proposition ballot TWICE while I was there and WON.. About 2010, after I left -- they MADE IT LAW...
So NOW -- NO ONE is allowed to appear on a Nov General ballot that DID NOT FINISH in the "Top 2 - Jungle" primary.. Kamala Harris and ANOTHER DEM were the only choices on the ballot... Not a Repub, 3rd party, Indie, whacked out Elvis impersonator was ALLOWED to be a choice...
It is NOW -- a one party state..
Far worse outcome than the 17th Amendment.. Because it's ANTI-democratic removing all choices from a ballot..
Dems can't manage money or tolerate the slightest risk.. RISK is a fear word to them.. And as a result, they cant DESIGN programs or fixes that are sane and efficient and WITHIN THE LIMITED capabilities of politicians to manage and do oversight on...
