Despite much ignorance and ado, California is politically moderate. Their own voters shot down basic protections for unsecured laborers for private equity-backed driver services who are then wards of the state; no workers comp, no unemployment, no flsa protections…these are the bare minimum of a society that doesn’t eat children. The states voters did this after the state just went through the clear and costly lesson of a mass layoff situation due to covid and it was clear these predatory companies were designed to screw workers and the state to maximize returns to shareholders, even beyond how bad a standard worker has it. If the states own voters arent anything more than moderate, why would the hope be the governor of the state would be?
Anything to the left of Pinochet is being labeled as anarchist left wing terrorist by fascists who are actively dismantling government, legal, social protections.
California has always been there leader in environmental issues, I hate seeing them fold under corporate pressure.
