Absolutely...I want a progressive nation, not a conservative one.

Default Op, do you live in California?

Silly thread.

It's not going to happen.

Hmmm...not actual Californian independence, but an insidious transfer of statehood from the United States to Mexico! What a surprise that would be, when a new wall goes up. A wall running along the northern and eastern borders of California!

If California left the US wouldn't be in the TOP 20.
Secession in still treason and secessionists are traitors

Provided California could develop a fresh water source, the country would be an exporter nation of fruits, nuts, veggies, films and drugs (pot). It would also be ethnically diverse and I suspect after the white folks abandoned the country for the U.S., that whites would be a minority.

The way the divisive attitudes of the U.S. have become so well exposed, I don't see a reason to keep the 50 state collective so tightly bound. Let the states or regions break out on their own. I'm sure my Texas passport would get me into and out of the same countries as a U.S. passport.

I'm for secession of any state, at any time, for any reason.

The U.S. is just too goddamned big and I hate most of the people who are in it.

This isn't a bad thing as long as you don't go too far by sacrificing the bigger picture to appease a few. CA doesn't seem to know where to stop (went too far one way). They are now paying for it big time. I mean this as no offense. I see you are from San Diego. I used to live there, and I really liked it. That being said, CA is example of what not to do...and we appear to be trying to do it. Again...no offense. It's an observation/opinion. You can disagree all you want, and I respect that. The proof is in the pudding, however (IMO).

I would support Californians if they want to become their own country. We shouldn't force states to stay in the Union if they don't want to be a part of it.
