I don't know a lot about California politics, but I do think that crazies often get through the electoral process when one party is essentially guaranteed victory once the vote gets to the general election.

Local and state elections are already not greatly attended, but primaries for local and state elections are even less so. 

That means that if you have a person who is insane and they happen to edge out a primary win (for one reason or another), they could win the whole thing with relative ease.

I miss when Ohio was a swing state because it made it so that the person who wins a Senate seat or Ohio's vote in a presidential election had to actually appeal to both sides in some way. Or, at the very least, they felt they couldn't cross certain lines to maintain their narrow majority. Ohio is one of only 7 states that have split representation in the Senate (and one of those is only split because Bernie is not technically a Democrat).

Once that is lost, you can get some pretty nutty people into office.
