Californians Are Prepared To Run Their State Into The Ground

We will soon see whom Californians choose to run their state.

"If California voters haven’t suffered enough, then let them hurt some more until they come to their senses and beg for change. Until then, let them suffer until they have nothing left with which to ruin the state."
