Take Oregon and Washington with them.

Go ahead, Cali, please leave.  The economy of the rest of America will skyrocket without your burdens on us.

I say let the Californians do it. And build a great big fucking wall to keep them out of the productive states on the US.

Divert the waters for US consumption and tariff the fuck out of Hollywood while you're at it.

Kind of like Quebec. Quebec has been using the threat of separation to get big cencessions from Canada for nearly fifty years. Bunch of spoiled brats who know how to game the system.

The funny part here is while all the libtards wanna leave the USA, the CONservatives want to leave Cali and make their own 51st state! 

The keep threatening the rest of us with a good time and never deliver

I hope they leave the US.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber announced Thursday that she cleared the proponent of a secessionist movement to begin collecting petition signatures. Should Marcus Ruiz Evans and his CALEXIT team secure 546,651 signatures by July 22, then the proposal will be put to a vote on California's 2028 election ballot.

If at least 50% of registered voters participate in the election and 55% of voters say yes to the question, "Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?" then the result would register as a statewide vote of no confidence in the U.S. and an "expression of the will of the people of California" to become an independent country.

According to the California secretary of state's office, the no-confidence vote would not trigger an immediate change in the state's current government or relationship with the union. It would instead result in the formation of a commission to report on the Golden State's viability as an independent country.

The commission might consider the impact of losing free trade with the remaining states in the union; losing over 762,000 full-time jobs with U.S. national security agencies along with tens of billions of dollars annually from national security activity in the state; and no longer having the federal government cover roughly 50% of Californians' medical costs.

The CALEXIT campaign claims on its website that California — which is struggling to deal with the biggest homeless population in the nation, brutal crime, resource strains resultant from illegal alien populations, drought, wildfires, a housing crisis, and various other problems even with the help of the federal government and over $143 billion a year in federal aid — would be better off on its own, in part, because it could foster its leftist values "without facing ridicule or opposition from states with differing ideologies."

In addition to helping make the state an incubator for a single worldview, the CALEXIT campaign claims that independence would enable California to tear up constitutional protections for gun owners as well as to go all-in on climate alarmism and failed immigration policies.
