California is notorious for its high cost of living, homelessness epidemic, widespread crime, and failing public schools.
These are all “symptoms of a bigger problem,” argues Carl DeMaio, a member of the California State Assembly.
“ The fact that we're worse in all those areas is because we are confronting the biggest problem. And that is California's political system is fundamentally corrupt,” DeMaio told Elaine Culotti, The Daily Signal’s California contributor, on her podcast.
DeMaio explains that meaningful change requires a grassroots voter revolt, not reliance on party elites or national figures.
“If you want true populist grassroots reform, then those of us in the streets, the grassroots, we have to narrow our focus on a couple targets and take out the establishment. Because you know what? When we focus, their money can’t compete with us. We’re an army. It’s a public uprising. It’s a rebellion. A revolt. And they can’t stop that.”
