It should seriously be looked into. I dunno what it takes to break up states like that, but it would really redound to our benefit in the Congress and Electoral College, would it not?
Imagine if rural PA and NY got their own Senators and electoral college votes.
We can’t mess around anymore. We’ve got at least four years here, we need to start cementing gains.
Here’s how bad it’s gotten Upstate: Used to be if a cit mention secession to a local/state pol, said pol would smile and start looking for a guy with a butterfly net. Now local/state pols are raising the subject themselves. And they AIN’T smiling.
And I think the red bits of NY and PA would make a mighty fine state.
