Officials announce proposal that would establish California as separate nation

[martybegan]

Omg if they left, we could hammer them on trade, wow.

Hammer on trade... for what? You do realize California is one of if not the largest producers of agriculture, goods, and oil in the nation right?

Too bad a lot of their water comes from outside the State, at least the Southern part of it.

Once desal technology gets cheaper and more energy efficient we will have an endless supply

Considering the greens will shut down all your nuke plants, and you will have to pay across a border for Nevada's river power, good luck with that.

Actually, the whole seccession thing was tried by a bunch of states about 150 years ago. Long before Texas and California became states in the Union.

It did not work out well for them.

So, by the time Texas and California did join the Union it was pretty clear that once in there was no way out.

So you think Texas joined the Union AFTER the Civil War??

How old are you, junior? Twelve??

A proposal in California has been submitted to the Secretary of State’s Office on Thursday campaigning for the state to secede from the United States.

The proposed “Calexit” initiative would ask voters to repeal part of the state constitution that declares California an inseparable part of the U.S.

A recent poll suggested that one in three California residents would support a possible secession from the U.S. due to their opposition to President Donald Trump. No mention has been made of the president in the proposal.

If the proposal qualifies for the ballot and is approved by voters, it could be a step to a future vote on whether the state would break away from the rest of the nation.

Secretary of State Alex Padilla said the group behind the proposal, Yes California Independence Campaign, was cleared to begin attempting to collect nearly 600,000 voter signatures needed to place the plan on the ballot.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the supporters of the proposal have said California does not share the same cultural ideas as the rest of America.

So is this what those actors meant when they said they would the country if Trump was elected?

Yeah, the question was settled in the first Civil War.

California is the 6th largest economy in the world now, nitwit. You ready to go down to a standard of living that even a Haitian doesn't endure?

California surpasses France as world's sixth-largest economy

California surpasses France as world's sixth-largest economy

Kalifornication gets credit for goods passing THROUGH the State to be exported. Remove that and they're not what you think they are

Same with New Yawk and New Joisey.

It's complicated so I'm not even gonna try to explain it to you

I feel like we are playing a game of fantasy risk. You realize none of this is real, right? It's all just political posturing and we are the mindless fish eating all the bait just for talking about it. Keep talking shit about California if it makes you feel better, I don't really care, it's always going to be an amazing place in my eyes, regardless of what people like you think.

This is no surprise, the left has been trying to break America apart since the 60's, now they have resorted to their favorite tactic, playing the victim and all that entails [actually staying in America, demanding money for all the self inflicted damage, separation pay] when they could just leave and find a better life somewhere else [the pretend thing again]...Next they will target Hawaii.

Uhh, hasn't Texas, the lone star state, been the leader in the sussession talks? Are you saying that was led by the left?

No, California has been the undisputed leader since the 60's, and check the political history of texas...from johnson to richards a democratic state who is now glad to still be a part of a pro-American movement in this country

Yeah, let's get rid of the sixth largest economy on the entire planet, and a major producer of our food.

What Would We Eat if It Weren’t for California?

Don't worry we still get lot's of produce from Mexico......

So your view is that if California seceded they would stop trading with us? That's just stupid, even for you

Simple minded people tend not to recognize irony.

That was terrible irony. You switched illegal immigration for trade which is a false equivalency and then made Mexico the only reason California is leaving which is way weak. You suck at irony.

Here's a tip, when you try to convey partisan talking points into irony, it's probably not going to come off

No. Your just feeble-minded. There was nothing wrong with my statement. Intelligent people would have seen it as a joke. Especially with the emoticon banging his head against a wall...perhaps you should try that. It would probably improve your cognitive abilities.

Anyone who likes the DNC talking points would think it's funny. The problem with it was it had no basis in reality and it's based on DNC partisan views, which are not good bases for irony. It's more like you're Bevis and liberals laughing with you are Butthead

Unless the rest of the Country gets so sick of them, yes, it's all theoretical. But in theory California is more dependent on its neighboring States than it realizes.

Odds the Democratic party will give up California and 50 plus electoral votes...0.0000000%

Better check those dates again.

Your right Texas was already as state st the time of the Civil War. My mistake.

I lived in NY and NJ for 15 years and never ever heard anyone say Joisey. Now Boston, NH, and Maine those people are difficult to understand. What's funny is, they all make fun of how the other talk lol.

California can leave and take their GDP with them. Then the US will sink to the second biggest economy in the world, and China will rise to the top.
