    Quick takeaway that I agree with:

    California is not as blue as a lot of people seem to imagine. It's the home of Nixon and Reagan. Traditional Republican strongholds in California keep shifting blue mostly because the GOP has left behind what grounded them as a party from the 60s to the 2000s. CA conservatives aren't suddenly becoming liberal. The right wing is just going a place they don't want to follow.

    Mentions police reform and then Kamala Harris in the next sentence - totally glossing over the structural problems with the justice system and why cops are so "gun ho" to arrest people in the first place - namely private prisons.

    Basically just more of trying to prop up a bunch of Neo-liberals as progressives -and cutting the legs out from under real progressives - but I wouldn't expect anything more from the NYT.
