A new bid to place a measure on the ballot that would ask California voters to approve the state's secession from the U.S. has been cleared for signature gathering.

    Do NOT fall for this shit, they’ve tried it before. This makes america an easy red majority and that’s the entire point of it. We’re in this together and not going anywhere

    I want to remind everyone that the union of States is more like a gang and not like the EU. Once you’re in, you’re in for good.

    This fact was demonstrated 1861-1865.

    I am not a conservative person and I support this. For many reasons but the primary one being actual political representation. Right now California has a population of about 40M yet we only have 2 votes in the national legislature. Why?

    As a personal anecdote I have experienced what others in the US think of “Comiefornia” first hand. People from mostly the South and Midwest hate us. They don’t respect our rights or our values. They already don’t view us as part of the US anyways so fuck em.

    Also just a reminder California never chose to join the US, we were conquered.

    All those Trumpers up in the mountains would be so angry if this happens. Their whole ‘State of Lincoln’ schtick would kick up again big time.
