Should I drop out of college or finish?

You can also leave school, work, and take classes through the many degree completion/continuing education programs in the country. You can take two classes at a time and still qualify for financial aid. In other words, this is not a binary situation of leave or stay. You have other options.

I am not sure if community college would be helpful since you are almost done with credits for two years. Would it work to do community college to regain the previous GPA and then transfer to a UC or another Cal state? (Your overall GPA is not bad at all.)

I have to ask how much of a factor COVID has been for you in your unhappiness and your academic struggles. Many young people and parents are posting similar stories and it seems COVID restrictions as well as virtual learning do play a role. Maybe you could try attending without those restrictions if still possible in the fall.
