    As a Californian dont pull that stupid shit, the only reason we are so functional is cause the rural areas are more or less overridden by the urban areas breaking us up would break that.

      I mean, with a skilled cartographer, we can surely find a way to gerrymander some senate seats 😉. Just pack all the rural voters into one state then get like 5 other states with only urban voters. +2 Rep +10 Dem Senate seats. 😈

        Lets not fuck around and find out thanks, plus then ya lose Californian nationalism which is part of the reason we are vaguely functional.

          I know I’m being pedantic here, but wouldn’t that be California Statism, or Californian State Pride?

          Edit: Californian State Pride is totally what the LGBTQ+ community should refer to the parades in San Francisco as.

            I call it nationalism in reference to the springtime of nations, basically there are two nationalismism. Also a nation isnt a state if it was the Sorbians would be their own thing sepereate from Germany.
