Depend on how you define "progressive". But it does say something about how the world function.
Imo, CA is more interested in appearing to be progressive than actually being progressive, i.e. making laws that treat the symptoms instead of the root cause and as a result ended up making things worse. Prop 13, "anti-discrimination" laws, tough laws against gas cars, etc. Those backfired and instead of repealing and fixing them, they moved on to making more laws to add on an already gigantic clusterfuck.
It is hard to make real progress. It is so much easier to mess up and never admit to it.
