Because California is so large, with such a huge economy and so many people, the state's dominance generally steers industry and other governments in the direction it wants. No company that does business with state governments can afford to ignore what California is doing.

If California doesn't think that Washington should be setting national policy, why be a member of the union of states in the first place? Its $3 trillion economy would be ranked 5th in the world if the Golden State was a sovereign nation. Maybe it's time that California thought about being a separate country.

They act like it anyway.

*****************

What do you think that $3 trillion economy would be worth if dysfunctional California were to become a separate country?

Naah, don’t let them secede. We should occupy them as they are a hostile and lawless entity.

Nope....they want to control the entire world.
Until Trump started pushing back, they were on the way to writing all future laws and have them administered by the UN.
All of the power, none of the responsibility.

What a lovely thought. Imagine the conniption fit the Democrats would have if CA seriously contemplated it - they’d never win another presidential vote without California.

Let's prompt Kali to secede, and then invade. I'm sure that $3 trillion economy can support the Kali NG against the 1st Marine Division.

Two days, maybe three.. Then, round up and shoot all the traitors. We tried being nice, the last time, and the Democrats didn't learn.

Prefer to see Northern California splitting off and becoming the state of Jefferson. Doesn’t matter then if South California stays or goes, they lose political power.

Only the north and south ends of it.

Flyover places like Fresno (home of FreeReplic) do not.

Didn’t the US fight a war with and pay money to Mexico to get that land? It’s ours.

How about we rescind the Enabling Act that made California a State, and make it a Territory?

CA is connected to the other states in a huge way. They get megatons of water and electricity from other states, and the Federal govt has military installations all over the place.
