Good riddance. This is a guy who campaigned for The Bern, but voted for Trump. He sounds very confused.

Yup. And Calexit2 is being run by Marcus Ruiz-Evans, who worked with Marinelli for years. So they can be duped again if they like.

The only-ONLY reason "Calexit" even existed in the first place was as a temper tantrum protest because the precious little snowflakes were upset that Hillary lost.

It never stood a chance anyway. This Russia connection is all a Red Herring.

California independence movement has been around for well over a decade. Apart from Calexit.

What's funnier is these same leftists were upset that Todd Palin was part of an Alaska secessionist group... some said he should be tried for treason and hanged.

They only know what they're hearing in the news a lot of which is wrong. They think Yes California is the entire movement LOL. They also think it's Democrats despite the fact that the California National Party despises both Democrats and Republicans equally.

Not really the Bernbots supported the racist agenda on the left which is why so many had voted Trump in those areas. The Bernbots are a very messy group.
