I am glad to see it go for Bernie this year, but I still can't move past the racism we encountered when we went there 8 years ago to campaign for Obama.

Plus, my bf has a pretty solid argument that the creation of WV as a state actually violated the Constitution, because the territory was taken from VA without its consent. That said, I don't want it to go back to Virginia because doing so would likely turn the state red again.
