Maybe they’ll leave the union
That’s why we’re voting no, because as a life-long Californian, I can’t see burdening the country with three $hit Hole states, the current one is bad enough!
We had a chance when we voted Gray Davis out of the Governor’s Office, but we shenked it and elected Ahnold the Awful Schikckelgrubber. Who f*cked up the State while he was f*cking his Mexican maid and knocking out a love child.
If you thought Gerrymandering was bad...
So instead of 2 hard left senators now there will be 6? Uh, no.
It would be very interesting to see a County by County vote on separation from the State and another on separation from the Union.
I’ve looked at the Cal3 proposal. It will not help Conservatives in California at all.
California’s have let the state be carved up years ago it now looks like what is left after a buzzard party.
Feud away!
Western Washington and Western Oregon should be combined into one state, with Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon being combined into another state, and California left as it is.
Is there any research out there that explains how this would be done, Constitutionally? I thought new states had to be admitted to the Union individually? If California dissolves itself into three separate territories, does that mean California is gone and any or all of the three new entities have to be admitted individually? Like before the Civil War, we don’t need any more slave states!
A far older, and far better option is the State Of Jefferson. The bombing of pearl harbor sidelined the idea, that in recent decades has (re)gained traction.

A separatist state of mind
I don’t know what they’ll name the new liberal state(s?) but Fruitopia is already copyrighted.
Yep. California splitting up is fine. The division proposed makes no sense. Lump the bay area and Sacramento in with that coastal strip going down to Orange County. That would make sense.
The “New California” plan looks pretty good. Basically separating the rural from the population centers. If enacted, this would certainly result in a new California that was red to the core.
So here is my entirely theoretical question:
if the three Californias thing passes and California votes to secede, do all three of them secede, or just one, or two, or what?
Carve themselves out of the US.
He is correct.
Take the coast line from Mexico border into & including Marin & Sonoma counties & make that the new area.
Leaver the rest of the state alone.
Using the currently proposed split will leave the very densely populated San Francisco Bay Area to out vote & overwhelm the rest of N Calif. That area to the north is quite Conservative, but not densely populated.
