Can you tell me about the current state of politics in California, and some of the major policies shaping the state?
<|assistant|>
California politics is currently characterized by an intense partisan divide. As state voters continue to divide themselves based along ideological lines, the legislature is becoming increasingly polarized. Major policies currently being considered in California include raising the minimum wage, reforming the criminal justice system and the Affordable Care Act, and addressing climate change.
