Some think the status quo is the way forward and such a progressive state cannot slide backwards - as California goes, so goes America.
Nixon, Reagan, Jarvis and a lot of very conservative Democrats controlled this state for generations. Democrats have largely left their old base behind to neoliberal economics, deregulation (Carter) and financial market weaponization (Clinton).
The radicals from the left aren’t from CA anymore, and my guess is a future that is a bit more Nixony but wearing Allbirds and sipping a Grapefruit IPA.
I think the Democrats are not the party of the working class anymore but the party of well paid specialists and middle management upwards. I would call them party of the top 10%. They have no ability to talk to the lowest ranks anymore.
