      California is unfortunately even more cooked than New York. Ezra Klein’s “Abundunce” doctrine is basically the mainstream here.

          CA politics is dominated by a Democrat supermajority. However due to the most bare minimum social democratic policies that still exist here (better union, protections, higher minimum wage, Healthcare coverage, etc) the liberals who dominate our state government consistently point towards “progressives idealistic policies” as the root cause of our increasing affordability crisis. The average person are also a liberals, becuase tgey only ever hear this same rhetoric. So these liberals are convinced that California is simultaneously the best place to live in the entire US (heavily debatable) but our “leftist” policies are making everything expensive for average people so we need to get rid of them.

          And yes, the fact that they think that the things that differentiate our state from Republican states, that being things that improve our quality of life by comparison, are also the thing that’s causing all the problems in our state, is never acknowledged as an inscrutable contradiction.

          “Progressive democrats” are blamed for our issues, and the solution is being more “moderate” (neoliberal, which we already are). Meanwhile, if you suggest your more left than Katie Porter, your essentially called a quack who doesn’t understand how alienating leftist policies are.

          Our economy is based on Agricultural exports (which basically feed the whole country), a small bit of manufacturing but not much, the banking sector, and tech-speculation (these last two are basically the largest portion). Californians love to claim we have the 5th or 4th largest economy in the world, but can’t seem to figure out what that actually means for people materially.

          It’s a state with a superiority complex so inflated that it’s a surprise we all don’t float off into space. Our economy is fake, our progressive posture is entirely surface level, our actually good traits are treated like blemishes, and our weather sucks ass unless it’s fucking awesome.

          A brief an ranty overview of the Golden State, that’s basically entirely vibes. Which, like, I guess is pretty appropriate for us.

    Funnily i don’t think this depiction causes the effect they think they’re doing. Die zeitgeist ist ein anderer (i think).

    As I grew accustomed to this, whenever someone slightly more radical takes a seat, in the next day smear campaigns, sabotage and all kinds of bad moves will happen to prevent any success of his mandate. I hope he is prepared to mobilize people to implement his projects, otherwise his government will be a major disappointment.

    Seems that calling someone a socialist doesn’t have the effect that it used to, and is now seen as a positive by a lot of people. If Maodani can deliver on his promises, while the media calls him a Commie, people might start thinking, “Hey, that Marx was on to something.” (sp)
