What a weird conflict. I don't know who I want to win. Is it possible for them both to lose somehow? Like some kind of -1 sum game?

    Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.

    Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.

    Careful with that saw. There are allies there still.

    That's Hillsborough County not Tampa the city, that goes Republican. We are pretty progressive inside the city but the sprawling county has enough people to drown us out.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not calling out people based on their county. I just pulled an electoral map because it's a quick way to point out that Florida is potentially a purple state. It's got a lot of people supporting civil rights and other progressive goals. I don't want to see it sawed off and abandoned to its gerrymandered leadership. That's what I was trying to communicate.

    That's the T Rex option. Like when your two least favorite teams are playing and you want them both to lose. T Rex takes them all out.

    I'm not saying I'm against it, but how do we get a live T. Rex and put it in a position to solve this problem for us?
