What's funny is that Beet seems to be implying or admitting(?) that Democratic policies totally fail a state. But he wants the same people who "destroyed" California to move to red states and do the same to them. So yeah, the only thing he cares about is power and winning elections, in which case it is appropriate to say...
Oh f**k off you self righteous bastard
California government is constrained by a lot of absurd propositions from the Reagan years. On the other hand the environmental lobby is too strong and allows no construction. These are issues I am not particularly partisan about.
We like our air clean kiddo.
We don't have our mountain tops being blown to bits, or what water we do get horribly polluted because of fracking.
As for most of the problems, a simple Prop 13 ditch would fix most of 'em.
