re: #155 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

No, it’s really not. You know that getting the supermajority has changed things, that the weird budget laws requiring a supermajority for a ton of stuff existed, and that the GOP were able to use their minority to obstruct. The Democrats were not unopposed. Now, basically, they are. Now they have a supermajority and the governorship and, big suprirse, they’re not really that ‘progressive’ since a lot of Democrats are actually pretty conservative.

California politics has not just been ‘Democrats run the show’ and it’s really facile to portray it as such.

Sorry but your justified dislike of GOP policy has allowed you to exaggerate it’s effect over the time period I include. the actual numbers, over the 43 years are undeniable. For example the top 3 officers in the Senate are Democrats. All from up north too. The last few years just don’t apply 20, 30, 40 years ago. the history is what it is. Solid Democratic majority and plenty of time in the top executive office as well.

This is only bothersome if you think California has done badly over the period. Edit-“Facile”? Is that really necessary just because we disagree?
