14. Secession!

Thu Apr 2, 2015, 12:28 PM

Apr 2015

Two hundred fifty years ago this country became the United States. I think that we've run our course and we need to divide this country up into two countries!

I'm tired of trying to deal with these crazy Republicans. Their ideology is so foreign from that of Democrats or progressives, that I think the time has come to divide this country up. Blue states and Red states!

Europe through the centuries has changed borders, divided countries up(Russia). America has come to that fork in the road where negotiations between both sides are nonexistent.

We need to have the Red states secede from the union or blue states!

Don't say it can't be done, just look at what's happening to indiana. Corporations, sports teams, conventions are ALL pulling out of the state.

They can spend their money, do their business in states that believe in equality.

We won't have to fight over climate change, abortion, public schools vs charter, health care for all, free college, or guns etc. We'd be more like Sweden or Europe,

The red states can pray all they want, with their illiterate, unhealthy, poorly educated constituents.
Just DONT ask us BLUE STATES for ANY help when diaster hits!
