Not sure if it'll go anywhere, but still interesting to watch.

Sounds like it'll be a shitstorm. Can't wait

Old Californian here. Soon to be looking for IT work in New California!

I kinda skimmed through the article but wouldn't you want to move into New California because of less taxes?

i plan on moving

screw la if sd is in new california republic

i want it to be the ncr so bad

i mean california is the california republic so wouldn't new california be...

oh I'd move in a heartbeat. I'm stuck in SF bay right now but would consider leaving IT to get out

Yeah I posted about this earlier. Would take time to get used to but it would be good if it happens.

New Cali might give use more electoral votes as well and take away from California’s.

I'm all for that.

i think most of the population is still in those coastal areas that will still be California, but still, a possibility

It wouldn’t change much but give us a boost.

i just think its great how the rest of California, is fed up with California

Maybe California won't be easy-mode for the democrats anymore.

It would still be easy for them to win Cali.

Easier actually.

Yeah, but I mean they would have to work harder for more electoral votes if this happened.

Yeah

If rural areas of dem states start breaking off it means we would have a lot less “wasted” votes.

true true

and maybe dems will finally see what repubs have been telling them. that they do not speak for the working man

Knowing the Dems they’d double down.

Many of them already speak against the electoral college as it is, yeah.

cant wait to hear what their platform is for 2020

“Trump is racist reee”

I almost hope it'll be Oprah 2020.

"lets undo the last four years!"

They won’t talk about policy just about how terrible they think the republicans are.

Probably.

or just more hope/change, read; regulating feelings and bombings!

its so weird to me that 1/3-1/2 of the political powers that be pander to obnoxious intellectuals on the internet

a rather small number of individuals

It's going to be empty identity politics boosted up to 11.

intellectuals ?

The coast will be solid blue

I dont mean the term positively

but New Cali would likely be a swing state

more of those would mean a higher requisite charisma for both sides at least
