I may be having a crisis of imagination, but I can't envision (in California, anyway) a more ignorant, arrogant, incompetent and corrupt bunch than the present legislature.

I choose not to place a label like that on all 120 of them. Sure, some might fit that definition, almost all fo them Democrats. But there are quite a few that are the only thing that has been standing up against even more destructive legislation. I support those folks wholeheartedly.

As do I.
But the object of the exercise is the reality of competent government, not the frustration of ineffective "loyal opposition."
If the minority of competents can't devise a way to be effective, the system fails.

Good intentions are not enough.

Yes, I can easily make a blanket condemnation. The legislature exists to perform a necessary function, and it's not happening.
