There is serious violence, but CA has law enforcement in place with experience dealing with the Cartels. The power they weild in Mexican Government would be outweighed by the 30% increase in population and the doubling of the size of the Mexican Economy.

Of course the violence that would be required to result in CA leaving the union might result in destruction of that economy. Hard to say.

Canadian Air Force?

Canada is certainly on my list of hopeful places.

If I lived in a parlimentary democracy I would vote for the farthest left party I could find.

As a trans woman I might need somewhere to go and I desperately hope that when that day comes someone like you is in charge if deciding if I get to stay.

It's changing back. Trump is quietly re-aligning the US with Russia.

I met my wife on OK cupid. 8 years ago though.

Nothing will fundamentally change until people are skipping meals. Not, like, a few people, more than half the people.

Separating Europe and Asia is just racism really.

Honestly a better convention.

Smuggling is what it will cause. I'll risk dying in a hot truck.

If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it's the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.

The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.

The realistic hope I think is that Cuomo had support from extremely wealthy backers. New York Real Estate and Wall Street, Bloomberg, all backed Cuomo.

The people said no. The money didn't swing it for Cuomo. The name recognition and the money didn't swing it for Cuomo. The dynasties didn't swing it for Cuomo.

Mamdani came in and offered real improvements to people's lives and they gave him their votes.

They fought like the fight Trump. Sternly worded letters. Op eds. Speeches. Press conferences. Maybe a procedural vote or 2.

You must be really inspired by that energy.

Dems did the same thing to trump. This could go really well.

Anyone could have run vrs Biden. That asswipe from Michigan did. I looked into his politics and decided I would rather have Biden.

Small in number. Bernie came close both times, but 40% of the primary voters is like 2% of the population.

I would remind you that Clinton was legit popular with dem primary voters. She nearly won vrs Barak Obama, historically charismatic candidate.

The rules for primaries are clear. Anyone can run in them if they get the signatures.

If you don't like the candidates that's fine but Democrats individually decided not to run against Biden.

The party can't stop them.

Middle age progressives have been pissed off since 2009 or so, when Congress scraped the public option from the ACA. We won a few victories (yay marriage equality) but the ghouls can lie, like they lied about keeping roe. So they will keep winning until they are met with honest people willing to change the system.

Socialism or lose.

If just my state left, and I could leave to another state, that would be pretty good. Two Republican senators gone, roughly 15 net house reps gone, and an influx of dem refugees like me into neighboring states.

Texas could legit try to make a go of it as an independent nation. It would be a disaster for my family though.

You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.

There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.
