Nothing the parent said assumes voters are rational.

They pointed out that CA voters can remove her. True.

They pointed out she's still there, so the plausible majority of the people that cast votes must have wanted to elect her vs the opposition choice (as of the last election). True.

It does say that the voters wanted her there. I don't think they're engaged enough for that to be the case. Even if there were a grassroots attempt to do this, it would fail without substantial political and monetary support, because voters as a whole are not paying anywhere near enough attention to make informed decisions about these things in my opinion. When they even bother to show up.
