Why should they be offered anything? They have power that is tremendously out of proportion, and thereby get to be part of a minority bloc that dominates the majority.
What you’re asking is akin to saying “what should we offer the white ruling class in South Africa to incentivize them to go along with your case for changing the agreement on apartheid?” or “what should we offer the slave owners to incentivize them to go along with abolition?”
It shouldn’t *matter *what they think, and we shouldn’t have to make a deal with the devil in order to do the right thing.
First of all, it’s not equivalent cases; stop trying to make your case with an appeal to emotion though false equivalencies.
But more to the point: the Constitution itself REQUIRES that you do something for them, because they have to agree to give up that power. So, while you might think it’s simply justice that that power be given up, reality is that you need their approval.
In California, too much population resides in a few counties in SoCal. Therefore, they have a lot of power in the Legislature. They exercise this power by fucking over the rest of the state when it is convenient.
When the Northridge earthquake damaged infrastructure in the South, state money paid for the repairs. When the SF Bay Bridge was damaged by earthquake, the local area paid in the from of higher tolls.
Note that the 7 toll bridges in California are ALL in the Bay Area; none of the bridges in SoCal are toll.
The majority is screwing over the minoritiy, regardless that it is Democrats controlling other Democrats.
