If a state had a local popular vote to split and it passed, then a national vote to split was done—would you vote to allow that state to split?
The premise was kicking out, not a peaceful split. If they voted on it, I would vote against it. I'd rather do every effort to bring them back from oppressive authoritarianism and prevent them from being worse.
Including throwing other people under the bus. Nice. I’ll bet you’d like to prevent people from leaving the country too. Less blue voters. Gotta make them stay.
I think you like watching people suffer.
No, not including throwing other people under the bench. That's what YOU are suggesting, is throwing every gay in texas under the bus.
The house is burning down whether you like it or not. There is nothing we can do about it. Some of us should be able to survive. Don’t lock the door and force us all to burn.
