(1,629 posts)The People of CA as individuals are the most disenfranchised by the system of anyone in the nation. CA has a morally legitimate grievance. Their voters are disenfranchised and they are donor states to the red beggar states. And by now most Dems are getting a clue how screwed up our system is and just need that voice to make the cogent argument that just as the Articles of Confederation needed to be dumped... so do the antidemocratic aspects of our system... simply because it's failing to produce morally legitimate government based on the consent of the governed. The rabid right might not care if CA left... but that's because they WANT a system that allows them to impose their views on the nation that rejects them. I don't think the nation would let CAL go... and there's always the fear of contagion.
