I think each individual state should be able to choose whether they stay in the US or not. Every ten years, the citizens of the state voted. If you vote to leave, you can’t come back for ten years. It would take place at the same time as the census.
Yes, the one aspect of the civil war that I have never agreed with was that a stare can not choose to leave the Union. If a terratory can vote to join the Union, I see no reason why they couldn't vote to leave it. On that note, I would also support the idea that the other states should have the right to vote out a state they no longer want in the Union.
You’re right. Self determination is a right we all have.
Which state is the Weakest Link?
Based on statistics, easily Mississippi. But most obnoxious is easily Texas. Texas would be my first vote out.
Just ignoring Florida's existence?
Just a few more years
Eh, I'd love to boot all the old confederate states, but picking off the worst first only helps the whole.
Seconded. If we oust Texas, we can regain control over the content in school textbooks.
People who want to flee can still be welcomed as refugees.
I am so fucking on board with this, lfg!
If we could trick Mexico into taking back Texas that would be ideal. But Mexico is way too smart to fall for that.
Mississippi? Alabama? Wyoming? One of those probably.
