The United States has been becoming worse year after year after year for decades, and it's guaranteed to continue down that path if we don't change something.
David SwansonThe United States is a rogue state violating international law in many, many ways that California wouldn't have to if it seceded and became a nation.
David SwansonCalifornia, like anywhere else on Earth, should have the right to secede whether the United States likes it or not. The preferences of the other 49 states and Washington DC is not relevant. That was the position of the United States government on Yugoslavia and other places around the world but not on Ukraine. However, morality and the law as I understand it are that any people should have the right to leave, just as explained in the initial words of the US Declaration of Independence.
