Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies? (lemmy.world)

I keep being told it's because of the Republicans that we can't have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

Rule #2 - Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions.

Great. I got downvoted for pointing out the fucking rules which you're breaking. Enjoy your dumb fucking rage bait debate that goes nowhere. If you hate California and Democrats then move to Texas and freeze to death with the rest of the republicans.
