RE: Appears to not even be close.
Stick a knife to California, the state is a lost cause.
I think its a cabal of public unions, their business partners, and people who want the free money giveaways for them and their families, from state coffers.
I believe Eric Garcetti...mayor of l.a. won in la in 2017 with 84% of votes...about 330 thousand. Out of a city of population 4 million. It was a 20% turnout. How many of those votesrs, ya think was from the public worker unions and people who profit from them?
All of them wanting to “share” in the tax revenue stream.Plus a few SJW’S..(the politicians pretend to care about social issues)...but it’s all about the money.
