Pretty telling that it required a 9 year fight. In one of the "liberal states." Ugh. But good news, I suppose.

    the people in the 2 largest bubbles are liberal and those bubbles outnumber the rest of the state, but they keep voting in conservative governments nonetheless just like the rest of the united states does -- what americans consider liberal is centrist to the rest of the world, so the american government, including calfiornia, will always lean center-right.

    that's why we have trump right now and there will be atleast one more in the future.
