Maybe they should try voting.

LMAO, this tired old rag again. How are you not being represented?

Who's being abused? Seriously.

Uh, that's different from California's contributions to the national economy.

It's not 1776 anymore.

You make it sound so easy.

I don't see any reason for secession or revolution. We have more in common as a nation than we have differences. Think about it, minus the political rhetoric if you possibly can.

If you secede, the Constitution does not apply to you, so it is moot.

Wonder how you would feel if a far far right president took over, arrested his political opponents, jailed the other party supporters, outlawed abortion, gay marriage, unions, public schools and ended all environmental policies.

I see the reasons and I understand the mindset, but I agree we have more in common. The reasons for people wanting to secede-leave-revolt can be fixed.

Its the the “two worlds” phenomena where one half of the population is pleased with the trajectory the country is on vs. the other half that sees the horrible reality of it all.

I'm not completely pleased. However, I know that the alternative would be worse. I'm not interested in secession. I understand, based on historically precedent, how ugly it would get.

Not really. Based on my quick google search, #Calexit was largely a conservative movement... one that was never really taken seriously.
