In reply to the discussion: A New Third Way/No Labels Movement - A Coalition Between Progressives and the Alt-Right? [View all]TomCADem
(17,837 posts)4. Instead of a Coalition Between Moderate Dems/Repubs, We Have a Far Left/Right Coalition
Maybe this Third Way/No Labels coalition might actually stick.
Heck, they even will have their respective secessionists with the Far Right demanding that Texas Secede while some folks on the left might push for California secede:

Moscow welcomes the (would-be) sovereign nations of California and Texas
The speaker was calling for Californias independence from the United States.
Alexei Gavrilko nodded approvingly. A burly, bearded, camouflage-wearing separatist from eastern Ukraine, he said he had come to the posh Moscow hotel just outside the Kremlin to communicate with colleagues representing separatist and secessionist groups from the United States, Europe, the Middle East and the former Soviet Union.
During a conference dubbed the Dialogue of Nations, Gavrilko listened carefully to Louis Marinelli, head of the Yes California group that is determined to hold the Golden States independence referendum in 2019.
For the first time in history, we, the people of California, who were conquered and annexed by the American military about 170 years ago, will have a chance to express our voice to either remain a state in the American union, or instead, to pursue a path toward a nationhood, Marinelli said solemnly.
