Direct demo = mob rule. Not representative republic at all. Anyone advocating this is commie trash.
As to CaCaLand referendums, judges ruled long ago that they are not binding. Did this on the BulletTrain BS and the gay marriage votes.
Make reps accountable.
California reps are not accountable. They are term limited out. This is why I oppose term limits. They get 4 years to loot, kick the can down the road, and then get another job - often enough with some entity that benefited from their financial and ethical corruptions. By the time anyone notices, it’s somebody else’s problem, someone who also has no incentive to fix it because they also won’t stand for reelection but one more time, before the effects of their budget/policy/laws have an impact. It’s a total disgrace what the Democrats are doing to California.
$24 billion we spent on “homelessness” and we have more homeless than ever. Now Newsom is “ordering” localities to clear out encampments. It’s a dubious order he’s governor he can’t order elected sheriffs or appointed police chiefs to do anything. Maybe he can withhold some homeless funds to localities, otherwise it’s toothless order other than on state grounds. He’s been campaigning on the homeless issue since he ran for Mayor of San Fran - what was that 20 years ago? He accomplished nothing ever. He owns a winery and the most expensive restaurant in the country where he went to violate his own Covid orders. He’s just butching up for a potential 2028 run I figure. Anyway where are you going to move the homeless? You tear down one camp where do they go? This state is truly buggered. Oh and we do have a $70 billion deficit, maybe Newsom is going to help close that gap by cutting off the homeless outreach graft machine. If he’s gonna run in 2028 he needs to show resolve, appear moderate, and fiscal responsible to escape his flaws, if he can at all.
