California Is Not A Democracy

California is described here as a one-party state that is not a democracy, because Democrats do not hold competitive multiparty elections and always win. The author claims that since one-party control was consolidated in the early 2010s, governance worsened and growth leveled off, and that more than one million citizens have left the state. The piece argues that Democrats have ended competitive elections in the states they control, that their actions show they care about staying in power rather than democracy, and that they use public money to reward party affiliates.
