So now all duly elected city and town councils are invalid? Because they dont have their own bicameral legislature? My friend, I dont see how that applies. And arent we always complaining about how judges are always thwarting these propositions that are the will of the people? Well, this proposition included a proviso for local municipalities to opt out of having these co-ops and the element they attract. At the time, and I lived in San Diego then, it was the second or third time this prop was floated. The opt out was the only way that the more conservative areas like San Diego and Orange counties would be on board.
So if someone is socialist and is “duly elected”, that’s valid? Come on now.
And where did “bicameral” come from? That’s not characteristic of republican government in particular. Lots of constitutional monarchies are bicameral; and one “democracy” in particular (
India) is, per its own constitution, a "sovereign,
socialist, secular democratic ‘republic’” with a bicameral legislature (which is why I must laugh when people think that Narendra Modi is any friend of the USA).
What with California’s being as liberal as it is, the definition of “conservative” there has to be like it is in places like New Jersey. Conservatives elsewhere in the country put strong emphasis on personal responsibility and private morality. And when it comes to cannabis in particular, the first major nationwide bans occurred under FDR. (BTW, prohibition, or the first instance of Sharia law in the USA, also had an eye towards preventing a certain "element" from proliferating, verbally that is.)
