Not really. That never gained traction, and when the sponsor moved to Siberia, revealing it to be some kind of Kremlin sponsored operation, it died a quick death.
... but if California were to be its own country we'd be one of the few states that could pull it off successfully due to our very strong diverse economy.
The ones that always ***** and complain constantly about how awful/horrible America is and how much it sucks. Why don't they just leave America? I mean if they really think America is such a horrible country, why don't they move to a country that they think is SOOO much better?
Because they derive much of the meaning in their lives from the shrill and hysterical and of course, endless complaining here - a country which they claim is "white supremacist" and "systemically racist." The majority of the countries in the world outside western European countries and western European-offshoot countries have levels of systemic injustice, brutal laws which make women's lives living hells (sharia law in Afghanistan - Joe Biden did this), no rule of law, no constitutional rights, no due process, no accountability re: police misbehavior.
But because these are precisely NOT European-offshoot countries, the leftists who by definition hate America (and many are themselves white) won't go there let alone acknowledge that things like slavery and the enslavement of children for sex happen as a matter of course. Their ideology and narratives forbid them from being intellectually honest enough to state openly that minus countries like Japan and South Korea which are advanced, successful, wealthy, and enjoy prosperity within frameworks blending industrialization and cognitive complexity, most of the world which is not western European-offshoot is characterized by injustices and horrors which would make any real or perceived "microaggression" (a pathetic term if I've ever seen one) look like infant's play.
To the left, only countries which were part of western civilization must be condemned. And how ironic - as per the great professor and economist and writer and intellectual Thomas Sowell (an intellectual COLOSSUS, and he's black)... the left, which "warn us against being "Eurocentric" (attacking "whiteness," attacking statues of bygone heroes, etc) are often totally Eurocentric when it comes to condemning the sins of the human race as if they were peculiarities of "our society."

I posted this on another thread, it provides some great insights on why we have the problems we have today. It is very Civil War centric but that seems to be the starting point of memory in this country.

No historical event has left as deep an imprint on America’s collective memory as the Civil War. In the war’s aftermath, Americans had to embrace and cast off a traumatic past. David Blight explores the perilous path of remembering and forgetting, and reveals its tragic costs to race relations and America’s national reunion.

Because it's not that easy. It's not like moving to another state. And even that isn't easy for a lot of people.
The state that hates America most is Texas. They have a long history of multiple secession movements, over and over again. Maybe the other 49 states can vote to let them leave... then they can have their right wing nationalist dictatorship, and all of the anti-choice Sharia law they want.
add california to the list while you are at it
also, anti-choice? is that include the choice not to get jabbed with experimental drug?

It should, California has enough natural resources, but building over rich fertile land isn’t good for California, there is no reason to ship citrus and avocados from Florida or Mexico, never! Orange County has the most fertile land in the country besides the imperil valley and I remember it having citrus groves, strawberry fields and other produce and now covered with concrete, There is also now a huge homeless problem that didn’t use to be a huge problem. I just wish you could have seen California I grew up in. I know it had its problems, but it is a beautiful state and at one time it was my home.
Well, for one...it is not easy to leave America and go live in other attractive countries.
You see, unlike us, many other countries (...the ones you'd consider living in like Canada, Australia and Europe) do not just take anyone in like we do. Many of those places require you to have a job or certain level of wealth before they will let you live there permanently. Yeah...they actually want productive, responsible immigrants...not mooching worthless uneducated masses like the USA lets in 24-7. Surprise!
Most of the anti-US complainers are just not that appealing to foreign countries, so they would probably NOT be gaining entry into Canada, Australia, New Zealand or most of Europe. They don't want them.
Those whiners would also not last 15 minutes in a REAL communist country like Cuba, Venezuela China or North Korea. No matter how much some of them moan about capitalism....living in a REAL communist country would spell their doom. LOL
So that explains mostly why they stay put here - they cannot legally immigrate because many places just would not allow them to do so.
The other reason would probably be that these complainers are too lazy to actually go through with it. It is easier and less effort to stay put and whine about how unfair/racist/whatever the mean ol' USA is right now.
