The California leftist politicians make all of these crazy decisions and then want the rest of the country to bail them out. If they secede there won’t be anyone to bail them out. Have they thought about that?
“activist, debate moderator, and author”
I think the formal name for that profession is “grifter”.
I’m fully on board with this as long as they break off the great state of Jefferson
California is now 32% Mexican.
If CA did secede, it would only be a matter of time before it became part of Mexico (again).
Cali will go full bore Communist on day 1.
Let them. Liberate them and then reconstruct the heck out of them
The Alt Left enclaves on the coast can be liberal reservations when they can exist under their own laws and local goverment without voting rights.
Our democracy!
California couldn’t secede from the union if it wanted to Texas is the only state that didn’t sign the paper work to join it.
California still believes it’s worth anything after it make itself a shit hole and a mecca for stupidity.
Nothing could be better for the rest of us. 2 minutes after the split the good guys with guns outside of the metros would split away as there would be no US army to stop them. The good guys could rejoin or stay on their own but no matter what 20 million leftists would no longer have a say in how things are run outside of their cities.
Trade California for Canada and Greenland. Offer all Danes the right to emigrate to California as a sweetener.
We may have to throw in Oregon and Washington, but we should move the Northern border of Washington down as far as possible to get access to the ocean.
We may want to buy Baja California from Mexico as well to gain access to warm water.
California can’t keep itself afloat even without a defense budget.
There’s no way Democrats nationally could support this.
If you back out California vote totals from recent elections, Trump would have won all three of his elections comfortably.
California leaving the union would have a profound political impact on the rest of the country. And the impact would not be something that liberals want to see.
The question of succession by states was seemingly decided 1861-65, by my reading of the history.
Blow a few dams, cut off the supply of the Colorado River and California would be drinking their own pee in weeks. No chance.
Gee, imagine that. Democrats wanting to secede, again! Obviously, they don’t know their history. This was settled in 1865by Abraham Lincoln.

I doubt they will be able to pull it off with California’s new Mesozoic landscaping. It would make more sense to turn California into a statewide Disney Mesozoic Theme Park.
Since California, at least the biggest cities, have already resigned from America, how can it possibly secede?
We learned yesterday that the as yet unburned portions of LA are in fact already Mexico, secession is a moot concept
Not a good idea to allow CA to secede. CA has major sea-ports that would then be under CA control. If you think imports are expensive now wait until CA has to make up their annual massive tax revenue shortfalls. Taxing port of entry commerce is low-hanging fruit.
While OR and WA have ports, they would have to expand greatly to match the flow of goods docking in CA. And the commie leadership in OR and WA will probably raise commerce taxes as well.
Besides for some reason it takes Congressional approval to secede - not gonna happen at least not until the left gets control of all three branches of gubmint.
