California was always diverse. Even republicans in California are socially liberal for the most part (racists are exempt).

California was always business friendly and are smart about what businesses they want to encourage.

you want them to give breaks to coffee shops and bodyshoppers like Uber,  They prefer Intel, Google, and probably the next life sciences unicorn company, and the next quantum tech company.

california is not for small businesses.. It hasnt been so for a few decades.Its the choice they made.

You're wrong, the vast majority of California still votes red, it's just SF, LA and San Diego that skew up the votes to blue because of the huge population density.

When companies started in the Bay area, people voted red, it was business friendly. You're seeing the fruits of opening up the economy in the 70s and 80s. California didn't get here by giving out freebies. 

see, I can't pull up california history to give you a list of taxbreaks that were okay'ed by Democrat governors (otherwise google, facebook etc would be set up in California). 

I'm too lazy for that. so are you. but you seem to be so confident with your claim when it doesn't pass even the basic logic test.

And history says when you have tandem of east coast west coast president and vice president combination, democrats always lost

so republicans in CA run on anti gaymarriage platforms?

[Milehigh]

because east coast democrats are kind of moderate to centrists and west coast ones are almost progressives

They run on anti gay campaign, anti abortion campaign, anti immigrant campaign. Just like in the past, the vast majority of California, other than the metros have always been red, and still vote red.

People don't realize how big California is in terms of size. If you see how California voted based on counties, except for the ones immigrants have settled in, the rest of California is all red.

What’s wrong?? If the first stimulus bill was shared with all the US citizens instead of giving it to the businesses, each person would have got $7000 each... but they got only $1200. There are millions of people still waiting for that check. 

they should have given it to someone who lost their job or with family earnings below $80-90K.. they are the ones with real need of money in this time.. not people earning more than $150K..

the last repub loser from california seem to have 'changed his views' on LGBT, but has parrotted the standard republican bullshit on abortion ofcourse.

anyway, people don't vote on these issues dude other than a very small politcally active minority.

California has locked up its future as a nanny state (like singapore but with better scenery). Trump fcuked it up by removing deduction for state tax, otherwise the gravy train would've had more legs.

may be next time republican would win in california. who knows.

I don't follow california gubernatorial elections closely. I think california is already a haven for tech companies. It happened both under republican and democratic establishment.

Democrats are bit more forward looking perhaps, and would cut benefits for companies (like no tax on free lunches at campus), and would provide incentives for quantum computing startups to come up.

it doesn't matter at this point who leaves california.

California has some of the most lax regulations on therapeutic cloning right? how come if republicans in CA are dead against abortion?

anyway, all this moot. your original post has nothing to do with dems vs reps broadbased policy discussion.

dems want to give  more money so the economic contraction is less, and subsequently the recovery from the pandemic will also be slow

republicans want the economy to crashland, and for those who survive it, to pick it up later with super fast growth.

its a question of choice. in one of the choices, the misery is too huge. you prefer that choice, while pretending to discuss this like you are discussing cutting your lab rats... with no empathy and remorse. and more importantly no clue about how economy works beyond the delusional galt gulch
