As a reminder, California might be more liberal than many other states, but it also has 10% of the entire US population.
While 9.2 million CA voters for Kamala, 6 million voted for Fascist 47.
More people voted for Fascist 47 in CA than there are people in 31 different states. So yeah, CA is blue, but it's also insanely red, too.
True, but also zero Dem senators have voted against this bill moving forward at all. It got a unanimous 35-0 vote to move forward on Jun 3.

California was 58.47% Dem to 38.33% Rep.
Only District of Columbia (90.28% to 6.47%), Maryland (62.62% to 34.08%), Massachusetts (61.22% to 36.02%), Hawaii (60.59% to 37.48%), and Vermont (63.83% to 32.32%) did better percentage wise.
California is still in the top 5 of the most Democratic states, even beating out New York (55.91% to 43.31%), Washington State (57.23% to 39.01%), and Illinois (54.37% to 43.47%).
If you look at the percentages, a lot of people voted for Trump everywhere. You can't just single out California for this.
