I always found this funny:

Calexit leader quits secession effort to make his home in Russia

but russia's a funny meme, now. so we can't discuss the hostile nation actively meddling in our democracy, because that makes trump look bad.

It is because of the Russian hysteria that the Cal Exit dude quitting and going there is hilarious.

This CalExit isn't something new, no more than Texas succeeding is new. It's a stupid pipe-dream that pops up every so often.

But Ca provides more money to the government than any other state, unlike welfare states like Alabama and Kentucky.

On it's own, Ca has around the 6th or 7th strongest economy in the world, going up against other countries.

So California haters can suck it. They be jealous

Seems I triggered Surtur and wasn't even trying :0

TIL: Posting an article means you're triggered.

It's because you posted an irrelevant article as a form of attack, Surt.

BTW, Ca ranks 28th in test scores overall :0

It wasn't a form of attack at all. It was just an article.

You're having a full blown meltdown over California again. Yes!

petty and irrelevant article posting.

I have to wonder why people on the left tend to set the bar so low for things lol.

California is always a trigger for you. It's hilarious

Democratic states like Californa and New York contribute more to the country than republican states like Arizona and Arkansas.

But liberal states are the welfare ones.

You just set yourself up for failure when you set the bar so low, but okay lol.

It really depends on where in the country you wanna look. Chicago is run by Dems, and it sure as hell isn't doing good. Things get continually worse and people are fleeing in record numbers.

Chicago isn't a state, sport. It's a city. YW

Video is from August.

Wasn't there already a discussion on this topic? It's functionally impossible for a state to secede like this. It'll never happen. It's amusing and fun to think about on a theoretical level but unless there's some kind of hostile takeover of America, states won't be seceding.

No shit, and the stuff about fleeing was about Illinois in general. Record numbers of people going.

Well, they also have the richest people, and one of the biggest economic gulfs, so it makes sense. Considering the 1 percenters hoard more wealth then the 99% combined.

Like I always say, if con's admit to being social darwinist's, why isn't anyone on the left attacking rich leftist's who talk about helping the poor, but live like kings. Demand those tech, hollywood, art, finance what have you democrats go door to door and give out 500,000 per family in the ghetto's. Or million. These are multi billionaire's we're talking about.

And Rocky was talking about the states as a whole, sport. Not micro examples you choose to push a narrative.

I also see what trig'd you here, it was my use of the world "welfare", as I said, wasn't intentional towards you. Oh well, you'll get over it eventually.

The word didn't trigger me at all. I am pointing out the problems in Illinois, I began with my city. I expanded to talk about how people are leaving the state at record numbers. Not just Chicago, the entire state.

Got to wonder what the politics are behind this.

Isn't it convienent that that states with "working poor" can afford low tax rates, because subsidy, while a state like New York has high costs of living, anx effectively shuts out the poor from any reasonable standard of living?

I guess "Yay blue" if the narrative is "Democrats don't need handouts", but I still say liberals are turning a blind eye to economic disparity in their own back yard to waste time yelling at these working poor social darwinist's.

What's more useful, going after the Kotch brothers for charity, or the millionaire art dealer who lives in a penthouse?

Bottom line, if liberals the claaa divide won't get better if poor minorities go after poor whites. Instead, poor liberals should be going after rich libeals and demanding handouts. And if they won't pay up, abandon the party and start up something that addresses the real issues: Between the rich and the poor.

Whether it's a L or an R 1%er really shouldn't matter.

What do you think are the contributing factors to people leaving Illinois?

IMO high property taxes are driving people away. We have the highest.

I think similar things are happening here in Cali. Lot of people seem to want to leave because it's very expensive to live and also very crowded, at least in cities.

Also it's constantly on fire.

Give me Ohio any day of the week over that cesspool of evil known as Cali.

Because being rich doesn't warrant you getting attacked.

And like usual you mischaractize a bunch of people's beliefs. I'm currently writing a paper highlighting the New York City's history of policies which artificially accelerate gentrification at the cost of communities for the sake of a quick influx of cash from rich people.

Maybe if you attacked specific arguments rather than try to make generalizations about a wide variety of people, you wouldn't spend so much time attacking strawmen.
