How about your RINOs stop stabbing Conservative Republicans in the back for a change? It's not as though Conservative Republicans are at fault for long decades of Liberalism in California.
It's been the consistent compromises through the years by RINOs that have allowed California to sink as low as it has...maybe it's time for something different.
Or maybe it has nothing to do with politics at all. Ever consider that?
Perhaps it is just the basic progression of society. California has always been on the cutting edge of American cultural change.
Liberalisation is part of the natural cycle of civilizations. That is a historical fact, proven without fail.
Did you ever consider that maybe you can't legislate society into a direction it's not ready for?
Or backwards from where it's already departed, for that matter.
You have to evolve with it or die. Like it or not.
Some of us recognize this and understand what it takes to at the very least remain viable in an ever-changing society.

The series of comments listed are patently "Progressive" ideas.
It is easly demonstrated that the "progressive" movement is drawn straight from a Communist agenda from it's inception to today.
There are several other problems with your comments insofar as they ignore history. Your path has been travelled before, we know where it leads. I'd rather California fell into the ocean than drag the rest of America down to that KNOWN Abyss.
Please, please, do not now adopt the ideas Communists implemented toward the goal of destroying the United States from within.
You aren't viable. You're a holdover from the failed policies of LBJ...a newborn hippie who doesn't realize that his ideas are not only a couple of generations old, but proven to have failed.
That's right...Proven.

Here...let's try this again.
I find it difficult to believe that you fell off the turnip truck 2 days ago.
"Or maybe it has nothing to do with politics at all. Ever consider that? "
Yes, and discarded it because of knowledge.
"Perhaps it is just the basic progression of society. California has always been on the cutting edge of American cultural change."
One could only hold this belief if one accepts that the next stage of American cultural change is that of a Third World Nation banana republic. Now, I'll grant you this might be true. Conservatives aren't lapping dogs to roll over on command, so get ready for a fight.
"Liberalisation is part of the natural cycle of civilizations. That is a historical fact, proven without fail. "
BINGO! Admin moderators are we through yet?
First: This isn't a part of the cycle of civilizations.
Second: This isn't "liberalization", it's authoritarian socialism.
Third: This isn't natural. It's imposed by authoritarian organizations subverting nations from within. WITNESS: Russia, China, Korea, Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia...and it was interrupted in El Salvador by R. Reagan.
"Some of us recognize this and understand what it takes to at the very least remain viable in an ever-changing society."
You aren't part of society. Very much like the communists who spawned your broken logic, you're attempting to lead people into a direction we're quite unwilling to go. We know where this road leads.
I had a conversation with a fellow like yourself in the halls of a University. I questioned him about his economic and social values and then I scoffed: "What makes you think, once you've succeeded that you'll be in charge. Someone like me is more likely to be in charge because I know how this system works. I've proven you don't."
