Ah, Democrats going all Confederate again...

A leader for the CalExit movement told Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson that California is not part of the United States and it’s time to formalize that reality. 

“This is California. We’re not the United States. Our values are different,”(no shit?) said Shankar Singram, vice president of the California Freedom Coalition. “We’re fundamentally different in how we act and speak and think about the world globally. Whether it has to do with war, the climate, the environment. We’re just a different state.” 

He added, “We are going to do things that are beneficial for our state, and we disregard what the United States thinks or even their laws,” pointing to sanctuary cities and marijuana laws as examples where California is currently defying the feds.
Wonder what he'll think when a lot of the state says "Screw you, we're separating to become the new State of Jefferson in the US."?

Seriously, he's not saying anything new, it's just that they progzis generally won't say it out loud in public.

Also, I wonder what they'll do when a number of states say "You're no longer part of the US?  Then we'll need to negotiate an agreement with you about all the water you siphon off from our states." ?

How will california's share of the national debt be determined?

I think that's the biggest land mine in this calexit thing.

Okay, other states are free to market their water AND electricity.

@Arthur: It should be apportioned according to population and if CA is no longer a part of the USA then their share of the debt should be paid in natural resources like oil, natural gas, or minerals.

Of course, if Kali does exit, they take their 55 Electoral College votes out the door with them. Oh dear, a guaranteed Republican majority. How can the Democrats allow the exit to happen?
