I keep being told it’s because of the Republicans that we can’t have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

    You’d have to understand what they are coming from - that they have to build up from a lower standard. You can’t just jump directly to super progressive without paving the road to it.

    The people in the US are also more right leaning and religious in general compared to Europe. The US left is the EU right in some European countries.

    California’s also still part of the US, and there will always be problems that they’ll share with their neighbour states.

    TL;DR California DOES have nice things compared to the rest of the country, and I also believe that’s because of the lack of Republicans.
