I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me "why are you moving there, its so bad?". Now that I'm here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do.
I know the cost of living is high, and people think the gun control laws are ridiculous (I actually think they are reasonable, for the most part). There is a guy I work with here that says "the policies are dumb" but can't give me a solid answer on what is so bad about it.
So, what is it that California does (policy-wise) that people hate so much?
Id argue its not the most liberal state. It would still vote for a system democrat vs an active progressive like bernie if push came to shove.
It only seems like the most liberal state because the high number of loberals, while people forget that it also houses a LOT of conservatives (more people voted for trump in california than other states)
Yes, being weirdly conservative is part of libersl ideology.
