I don't. This place is just as fucked as the rest of America; an oligarch's dream. It's run by corprocrats who've mastered the art of making progressive sounding legislation that fills the pockets of special interests. Trojan horse ballot measures that take a social science degree to see through are common, while the leadership is full of opportunistic snakes like Newsom.
It being powerful and slightly opposed to Trump does not make it good.
While I agree with you about the state political apparatus, I think California is much more than just that. Even within that apparatus, there are solid and progressive changes that are consistently made in the fields of education and consumer protection. Is it as fast and far reaching as I would like? No. But it is something. The people of California are by and large caring and hopeful, which is a trait that I really appreciate.
How the fuck does this get a down vote? Lol get a life and a grip you toddler ass, bought and sold, CHUD.
Edit: I ❤️ you, btw, Sassafras.
