I want them to leave no strings attached. You couldn't be more wrong about this.

I couldn't be more wrong? You really don't need to be insulting to express your disagreement.

First of all, California is much too strategically important to America's national security to allow it to become a hostile sovereign state. On that basis alone, they'll never be allowed to secede, unless the whole Union falls apart.

Secondly, the Democrats left behind in the USA would never win another presidential election if they lost California's 55 electoral votes. Dems in the other 49 states would fight to the death to keep them in the Union, because of that.

Thirdly, that state has become so dependent on federal dollars from Uncle Sugar, they'd collapse without them.

It's a doper's pipe dream. They're not going anywhere.

So the strategy of remaining one union and going down the socialist rat hole together is better? LOL.

Just how do they "fight like hell" if CA secedes?

CA is a net loser in the Federal Tax revenue/expenditure ratio from the stats I have seen.
