I mean it’s not the only answer, but it is for a lot of things. South Korea, Taiwan, etc have highly funded and competent governments that tackled the virus well. GOP governors have intentionally sabotaged things like unemployment insurance:pic.twitter.com/WDcWrdREZz
california is literally your bizarro world version of america without the GOP. listen, i love my neolibs — i really do — but you have *got* to accept that the lefties on this side of the ocean are not interested in building taiwan.

nah, CA’s structural issues make it unique: -no ability to print currency -ballot initiatives -constitutional constraints on taxation -lack of actual party competition

In many ways, CA is really damaged by one party rule—the continued zombie existence of a GOP means that breaking the Dems into coherent parties isn’t possible, so voters ability to connect politicians to policies is really muddled
