Couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the state is run by Democrats. They’ve done such a bang up job with cities they’ve run for generations like Detroit, Chicago, Newark, etc. Why wouldn’t the same thing happen with a state they completely dominate?
187 did not fail. The gov. (Dim Davis) did not defend it.
The ‘[will of the people] be damned.
Yes, I believe it is the Initiative Process too. It once seemed like a good idea, but instead — special interests whup folks up to do THEIR bidding. Looks like one thing, it really is another. It also lets the politicians in Sacto avoid anything that is not safe, or hide behind ‘the people’ to do it.
We are a Republic not a Democracy, and there are very good reasons for that. I read recently, ‘THE PEOPLE wanted to save the Delta Smelt, so we cut off the water to So Cal and gave it to the smelt.” No responsibility for this in Sacto? You bet there IS!! But those slime-balls teflon it off.
Illegal immigration and the flight of conservatives are the main reasons.
Mexico will fix it when it takes over
Where does Americas Fruits and Nuts come from?
The answer might give you a clue....
You can’t fix stupid, only breed them out.
Unfortunately the nuts of CA have made that impossible.
Place is doomed.
The citizens exercising their initiative option in CA is the only thing that has kept the democrats from completely turning the state into a purely communist welfare gulag
On the other hand, I remember reading articles about the recent proposal to split the state of California into 6 separate states. Presumably this would result in 10 additional US Senators—almost all of whom will be Democrats. Between that, and the 20 million illegal aliens that we now have, that should pretty well seal the deal for Democrat control of our federal government until the whole thing crashes down from the debt. (Feeling depressed on a Sunday evening.)
It’s not the process.... it’s the people.
I prefer to let California continue on it’s current slope and like any liberal bastion it’ll end up like Detroit in self deserved destruction.
What I would like to see is the ability to stop liberals from moving out of any place they destroy. Force them to live in the shxt hole they created and maybe, just maybe after many years in hell they created they’ll evolve into humans.
It’s not the initiative policy, it’s the fact 90% of those left living in CA are totally nuts.
