Why does a state like California that has supermajorities in both houses of the legislature not have a livable wage, housing guarantees, universal healthcare, and other very progressive policies?

I keep being told it's because of the Republicans that we can't have nice things. So what gives in California? We should be overflowing with progressive policies.

because implementing them is very unfeasable, especially on a statewide basis.

also california isn't some sort of utopia, it's still very republican it's just that the bluer parts are in the cities
- “It’s still very Republican, it’s just those the vast majority of people who live there are not.” 😬
  
  Although maybe you’re just trying to state that Democrats are still rightists, even if they are significantly less so than the overtly fascist Republicans, which would be accurate.
- Tell that to pretty much every 1st world country but the US.
