Is there any real reason we shouldn't break up the West Coast into more states?'
California is simply too large, populous and diverse of a state for a single state government to effectively manage. And the divide between the east and west sides of both Oregon and Washington is immense.
Jason Flores
east coast here. I've never been west, but I don't see why not.
Cameron Gonzalez
>Silicon Valley being its own state.
Fuck that. But yeah they should be separated.
Juan Hughes
Because that won't fix anything, just make the division worse.
Owen Moore
Why does your part of the country get to have so many states but the west coast is stuck as arbitrarily large chunks?
I still think Upstate New York deserves to split from the Albany NYC part.
Ryder Moore
Good idea. Give Dems more delegates.
Jaxson Flores
because we started earlier. We only had lands we could get at the time by actually being there. The west was all purchased.
Lucas Anderson
Because the population density is FAR less in the west overall compared to the east side of the country. There would be no point to have small states in most of the west.
Grayson Sullivan
>giving Democrats more permanent Senate seats Fuck no.
Cooper Davis
fuck off faggots we're full
Logan James
South California looks too much like a horse dick if you leave Silicon Valley attached.
Also in this plan South Cali still has like 15 million people and SV is at something like 25 million. That's the real reason I split them.
Andrew Kelly
>such blatant gerry mandering in favor of republicans
Colton Gray
>Is there any real reason we shouldn't break up the West Coast into more states?'
Because breaking up states based on gerrymandering of the current years politics is incredibly fucking stupid and would only further divide
California does need to be broken up, probably into three states.
Luis Reed
So are we just separating the red counties from the blue counties all over the country now?
I agree the West should be broken up but not the way you suggest. All the western states were drawn out using mostly arbitrary lines, by people who had never been there.
Breaking California in two would make sense.
If you had Jefferson and Lincoln like it's drawn on this map, each state would probably only have 200,000 people.
Austin Murphy
in n out should be renamed "takes a' forever" or "lines a' long"
Parker Martin
no, nigger, so cal would be 21 million not counting the illegals
Parker Powell
In-n-Out is trash. Five Guys, Johnny Rockets, and Fuddrucker's are all better.
Josiah Diaz
The real answer is just let the Lefties have what they want and give California to Mexico. Problem solved.
Justin Martin
>Silicon Valley Only faggots who moved here in the last 50 years call it Or faggots who don't live here
>HURR I MOVED TO DUH SILICONE VALLEEE! I hate foreigners so fucking much
Also, why not use the Golden Gate as a barrier for the "Silicon Valley"
Never mind, just take those faggots in SF with you to Jefferson
Daniel Flores
>Five Guys They overcook their bacon and charge too much for an alright burger and shitty fries.
Eli Cook
depends which one you go to, some spots move orders quickly
literally those 3 places you named are trash as fuck nothing but a meme at rediculous prices, you might as well grill your own burger
Thomas Peterson
That plan takes three hard blue ststes and makes them into six, three hard blue and three hard red.
The dems don't gain anything from this.
Gerrymandering is the creation of artificial boundaries to achieve a rigged goal, this is simply splitting people along cultural borders. Like with West Virginia back in the Civil War days.
Jefferson in that plan would have a population twice the size of the entire state of Wyoming. I'm not actually sure about Lincoln though.
And that's not just this election, on the map in the OP the red and blue states voted that way since 2000 election, purple ones have changed.
Nolan Sullivan
so true
Sebastian Campbell
Golden Gate is a much better name, I like that.
I was just taking the names from the Six Californias plan. I was wrong on the population numbers of SV and South Cali in my map, it was a while since I looked at this pic.
Also GG is a great abbreviation for a state.
Evan Foster
Oh look, a new plan to give liberals more senate seats.
Fuck off.
Jacob Peterson
>Five Guys Washington state doesn't have any In-N-Out's, it barely made it to Oregon
Henry Hughes
>12 senators from Shitifornia
MotherFUCK that shit.
Alexander Cooper
No this would have three repub states and 3 dem states whereas without the breakup you have 3 dem states
Brandon Carter
>More Senators from Commiefornia. A much simpler solution since this is what most people have issue with is to allocate Electoral votes proportionally or by congressional districts.
Jackson Robinson
Why are people so fucking stupid? This is giving the Republicans more seats dumbass and lessening the Democrat's power.
John Edwards
>Sane individual living in "Cascadia" Please god no we need the east to keep the state from going FULL COMMUNISM
John Ross
I doubt that we can be assured that those new Republican states would stay that way for long when being in such close proximity to so many beaners.
What would end happening is just a repeat of what Californians are already doing exiting their shitty expensive state just to fuck up other states.
James Rogers
In-n-out is a Christian Burger joint!
Matthew White
Golden Gate isn't a bad name for the boundaries you have there
I would redraw the boundaries so the "Silicone Valley" would exclude San Fransisco
I would make San Jose the capitol with the state name being renamed Santa Clara
The state football team would be the Santa Clara 49ers
Christian Harris
In the short run yes, the issue that is presented is that Lincoln and Central Valley are states that would likely turn blue within 20-30 years if immigration doesn't come under control. Here in Eastern Washington most of the population growth is coming from Hispanics as they work in the Agricultural Industry here, I see thesame happening to the central valley over time as well.
Matthew Wright
I think we should leave them to their selves and allow them to commie themselves to death so then Lincoln and Jefferson can claim the vacant land.
Or annex Canada and make British Columbia part of Cascadia so we can have Portland, Seattle and Vancouver all trapped in a single state.
Those red areas have stayed red since those states were admitted to the union. In the map in the OP the red counties have nothing but red since the 2000 election. The state labeled North California was especially red in the 2016 election.
Julian Barnes
>exclude San Fransisco Why? And put it where? Jefferson sure as hell isnt getting it, nor is North California. Also isn't the Golden Gate Bridge IN SanFran?
>if immigration doesn't come under control >if
Justin Evans
Preach
Grayson Jackson
The best way to fight California is:
1. Cut the Federal funds. California gets more Federal money then other state. And they waste it on Hollywood projects and Silicon schemes, instead of things like infrastructure or fixing thier port cities.
2. Regulate California's price fixing of grown produce. CA uses unions made up of entirely illegals to fix price, using it fee welfare as control.
3. Build that fucking wall. This explains itself.
Aaron Baker
That's one solution...
But personally I can think one other, more of a final solution.
Nolan Wright
I like the idea of city-states so San Francisco would become a city-state, and yes the Golden Gate Bridge is at the north end of SF
It's also because I largely don't agree with their way of life, the further south you go from SF the more republican people become, I don't think it would be fair to those people to keep getting grouped in with the very liberal SF
Daniel Roberts
>Splitting a state meme We had a thread about this yesterday, california is extremely liberal to the point where you have to remove the entire coast, San Bernardino county, Riverside county, and Sacramento in order to make it BARELY Republican.
Resource-wise this would fuck up literally every part of California We should not split states, at the very most make large states have autonomous areas that don't mess with each other
Aiden Collins
>Gerrymandering: The Picture
Jonathan Ramirez
You can do number 2 easier, claim federal control of all their major water sources(rain,colorado river, oceans) and sell it to them at a massive markup. Eventually all the agricultural industries will fail.
Jeremiah Wood
Obviously voter ID and deporting illegals is a first step
Ending federal funding to these liberal cities/counties/the whole state is #2
Even then, its not like California will suddenly turn back white without massive ethnic cleansing going on And a white california would still vote dem
Sebastian Cox
>more republican people become Says the only region on my map that voted purely blue since 2000
In all seriousness though I like the idea of city states, like giving SanFran, Shitcago and NYC their own states, but that would mean giving the dems free 6 senators, though we would gain four Republicans from liberated Illinois and Upstate New York.
Joseph Hughes
Because either way California makes a shit ton of nothing ...
Evan Clark
we would need a new flag
Oliver Lopez
>another person who doesn't know what Gerrymandering is Pic related is Gerrymandering: The Picture.
The map in the OP is splitting the west coast by preexisting cultural borders.
Chase Johnson
Simple, turn the Senate into a House of Lords power wise, where in order to override a house of representatives bill you need 1 2/3rd majority, otherwise it would pass.
Noah Murphy
>He doesn't know about whataburger Haha stay pleb
Gabriel Jones
Breaking up a large state into smaller states is literally unconstitutional.
Read your fucking country's transcript some time.
Caleb Hughes
>looks too much like a horse dick
Fucking kek, priorities
Josiah Fisher
Jefferson and Cascadia already have flags. Lincoln could have something like this. Who would keep the current Cali flag, North or South? Golden Gate could have something like a flag that depicts the bay with the sun setting bellow the bridge or something.
Not if the people of the state initiate and agree to it. It's how West Virginia happened. That's how Jefferson was intended to work and they would have had their convention, but then WWII happens and interupts that.
Zachary Fisher
Nigger gerrymandering is, "to manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class" which is literally what splitting 3 solid blue states into 3 solid blue and 3 solid red states is
Brayden Nguyen
>Breaking up a large state into smaller states is literally unconstitutional. West Virginia tho
Logan Stewart
oh how rare, 1 more dumb nigger with an opinion on how cali should run, who has neither research nor life experience sufficient to glean insight into how it currently runs
shut up and fuck off with your retarded-ass opinions faggot, literally no one has ever cared about your moron's opinion regarding this matter, hence why you have to come shitpost it
Dominic Perez
kitsap county washington here
we will burn seattle to the ground before we let those fucking commies take us with them
the divide in washington is not east west
its seattle/tacoma/everet vs the rest of the state
Parker Russell
t. Blue Californian scared of being forced to treat the conservative minority like people instead of getting to oppress them for disagreeing
Jeremiah Nguyen
itt. a Cali-nigger
Jayden Phillips
When will Israhell be a USA state as well?
Evan Flores
when you stop needing 40 billion a year to fight mud people with bottle rockets
Cameron Wilson
Washington state has Dick's, which is far superior.
