.@FareedZakaria says California is a "case study in failed governance."
He says Democrats have struggled to provide "public order" on a local level.
Far too often, he says, they've prioritized the rights of the homeless over the rights of home owners.
"The Democratic Party needs to think with it's head and not just with it's heart."
So...why do Democrats keep winning?
"What has happened with partisan alignment now is it's almost tribal."
What can be done to break the cycle?
Zakaria says San Francisco Mayor @DanielLurie is a "good example" of how to make government work more efficiently.
The moderate Democrat with a business background has focused on improving public safety and economic revitilization.
"You can tackle these in a way that's not inhumane but does solve the problem."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city's mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass "an incredible liar," and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year.
CBS News' @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.

I thought, maybe if Trump could hear what a eulogy for him would sound like, maybe that would give him some insight into himself – so I prepared a modest example for him. #TrumpEulogy #FakeFuneral #FlyWhinyLittleBitchFly👼
