I worked my butt off to do just that for ten years, though my efforts pale compared to those of many others.
But the party I worked for no longer exists. It has been taken over and sold out for political expediency and where once the members were valued and consulted they're now just wallets.

My membership will lapse very soon and I won't be renewing, though I will be looking for alternatives. Unfortunately, there is no credible separatist movement here or I'd be on board so fast the wind of me moving in that direction would pull all the pictures off my wall.

How about invading? Or offering a swap of blue states for western Canada?

Works for me!

Cheers
Jim

If I could do it, you'd have a deal. Let us keep an area around Boston for historical significance, then we'll trade you the rest of the state. Leave a little bit of California so I don't have to move, and your country can have most of California.
