I thought they wanted to secede from the US. Now they want to stay and just mulitply their misery for the rest of us.
One immediate problem is how to divide the state debt and continuing obligations. Second problem is the proposed boundaries. Monterey won’t want to be ruled from Los Angeles — that’s like day and night. Dividing the Great Crntrel Valley is problematical too. The details need to be worked out
Hopefully even if California votes for this, someone with brains will knock it down in Congress. What am I saying? Who there has any brains?
The latest scheme to stop Trump, with 4 more senators and several more electoral vites. It will totally work this tine!
As long as Northern CA has that hideous Bay Area, there is no chance it will ever be anything but what that state is now; some conservative outlying counties, but dominated by über-libs in the cities. Make SF and the rest I the Bay Area combine with the rest of the proggies on the coastline.
Total horsefeces. Northern CA gets screwed because it extends down to the Bay Area.
Ridiculous map...the Bay Area, Sacramento and Greater LA should be “Progfornia.” There is no way in hell the Bay Area and Sacto should be joined with Jefferson to the north. That guarantees “Northern California” would have two extreme leftist Senators. Absolute non-starter.
There is no way the rest of the country would go along with this proposal. Unless, maybe, you split Illinois into two states, Chicago one and the rest of Illinois two. The same for New York and maybe Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Actually Steven, liberals are 100% against any sort of intellectual diversity. so having their own state would make them happy. However, this idea will never get off the ground because the good folks of northern California would not want to be associated with San Francisco.
This is how the commie bastards in California intend to get 6 senators. If the commie bastards pull this off, Texas needs to divide itself into 10 or 12 states.
This would create 4 new democrat Senators. No thanks.
What hurdles do proposed states 51 and 52 have to clear
before becoming a part of the USA?
Northern California would be deep, dark blue. California would be a solid blue only because of LA County. Southern California would be a red leaning state
What difference would it make?
Each separate area includes major urban centers.
Looks like the same old thing only split three ways with a guarantee of even more red tape than ever.
Better idea: secede from the US, start a war, we kick their asses, deport all their illegals, and take away the voting rights of anyone involved in the insurrection for 20 or 30 years.
I’d make the part called California stretch further up the coast to include counties all around SF Bay, but then I think I’d be OK with this division. Two red states of beautiful country and the influence of the radicals constrained to their strongholds along the coast seems like a net win.
We DO NOT want Sacramento and the SF Bay Area included within our beloved State of Jefferson. That would dilute everything we have so far fought for.
I have a better idea. All leftists leave the USA and never come back. All new leftists must leave forthwith. Easy Peasy Nice and Breezy.
They can split into 3 states as far as I’m concerned....AS LONG AS THEY JOINTLY ELECT AND HAVE TWO, AND ONLY TWO, SENATORS TOTAL BETWEEN THEM.
Four more Lib Left coast Senators? Just say no.
They should combine the 3 west coast states and reduce the total number of Senators to 2 from 6.
Much better plan.
