While many of my family members have served in the past and do now, the US is not the end all, be all.

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, Without Politicians

Its part of why I moved out west. That and fear of persecution in the Midwest.

If we could do it in a peaceful and democratic way that doesn’t lead to an immediate second civil war, yeah, I’d probably vote for it. It seems to have worked out well enough for Czechia and Slovakia.

Personally, absolutely. California subsidizes so many of the red states in this country, and it sucks, because we don’t get the representation we should. We have 10% of the population, but only get 2% of the representation in the Senate.

That being said, I am completely aware that this is Putin’s goal, and that is why there is a lot of discussion online from Russian bot accounts about this.

It sucks when your goals align with Putin’s, because he is such a monster.

yeah if we figure out a way to not starve

No, because it would lead to civil war. Do I wish it could happen? Yes. But is it realistic? No.

Only as a last resort and everything else has been tried.

The first step is refering to yourself as a member of your state and not an American I guess

Rest of the states would need to agree sadly, and that's not happening.

I'm cool wit dat

CA should be split into two.

I’d much rather California split into 12 different states, each with roughly the population of Nevada.

Only if there's a legal way to do it, which is at this point, a constitutional amendment. The civil war made it clear secession is not an option.

Yeah. Horse nomads for Pritzker

No. There is no mechanism to allow this. The union is perpetual, and cannot be brought to an end. A state can no more leave than US than a city or a house.
