  • I strongly oppose this and think it’s a bad idea because then you’ll be like Ukraine and your neighbors like Russia.

    Maybe Ukraine was foolish enough to give up its nukes. Also California and other Pacific states might want to leave.

    Instead we must win big in all 50 states.

    I don’t see the Democrats winning big—though we will know in 10¼ months.

    Otherwise you’ll screw over tens if not hundreds of millions of people who will be forced to live in a a far-right extremist country.

    It’s apparently what many Americans want.

    It’s becoming an American tradition: bring in a shitty Republican about every 20 years. Today it’s Trump. Before it was Dubya. Before him was Reagan, and before him was Nixon.

    Another reason why this is a bad idea is because blue states send a lot of good Democrats to congress. Taking that away means certain Republican domination in congress.
