[@Vilageidiotx], as a Californian, I agree with you. Our state isn't able to become a nation at all. Running country requires a shit ton of money and time. And we would need to deal with our issues, but we are just making more of them. Also, it would cause America to lost 55 electoral votes and the state votes blue in most of the elections. That would be a terrible lost for democrats. The party just needs to rebuild and try again in 2020. [s]Maybe they shouldn't do what they did to Bernie Sanders next time.[/s]
