That’s so sad!

 

yes, it is sad that people enjoy that some people’s vote is less important than others’. Revel in it, even.

 

Lol, those expensive moving companies also charge a lot more for a move out of California than a move in.

 

Cry harder about it.

 

indeed, thanks for reinforcing my point

 

My pleasure.

 

It’s super understandable that politicians and their supporters in all the most populous areas of the country wanna also export those same ideas to every other area of the country.

It’s understandable …. After 50 years, their resume is just so incredibly impressive. The only thing standing in the way of making the Utopia that is the State of California are rube cowboys in Montana and their equal representation in the Senate and Electoral College.

 

We are a Constitutional Republic of 50 states which make the United States of America. It's not the United Populous of America. States have a voice, especially an equal voice in the Senate with 2 from each state for a 100 total.

 

So... I'm just spitballing here... but what do you think it would do to the US economy, politics, and national defense if CA, OR, and WA took Rick's advice decided to secede? Would a civil war erupt? Would that be an amicable divorce? What if the country broke into several countries? Say the Northeast blue states, the southeast red states, Texas, the red prairie and mountain states, the blue upper midwest, then the west coast? How about that scenario? Could the rural states who hold their votes over the rest of the country's heads survive? I mean since we are openly suggesting civil war, let's go big or go home.

Or we could, I dunno, reform the electoral college and representational structure in a way to make it more fair and satisfy the majority. That option sounds easier and better for us all to me. What isn't going to help is the increased trenching and saber rattling.

 

Sorry, who did you think chooses who's in Congress?
