Couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the state is run by Democrats. They’ve done such a bang up job with cities they’ve run for generations like Detroit, Chicago, Newark, etc. Why wouldn’t the same thing happen with a state they completely dominate?

The point of the essay is to suggest that maybe the reason we have been plagued with Democrat majorities in the Senate and Assembly for decades is because conservatives believe they can right some of the wrongs that their legislators create through the initiative process.

We now know that this will never happen. Any time a conservative proposition passes it will now be challenged in court and our Democrat leaders will fail to defend it. If any private citizen tries to carry the challenge through the courts he will be denied for "lack of standing".

The good news is that the progressive, democratic, mob-mentality initiative process is dead.

The bad news is that we now have to get off our collective behinds and work to get some Republicans, or at least pro-business Democrats, elected.

The article says that the reason they elect Democrats is because bypassing the legislature through initiatives thwarts the building of political coalitions that would result in more Republicans being elected.
