Secession movement - another state joins the fray

A movement is afoot to split New York into two regions upstate and downstate to acknowledge the gaping philosophical differences and improve representation.

How many does that make now?

All this stuff is silly talk. Why would NY'ers agree to divide the state?
Or Californios, or whereever?
The United States wouldn't agree to state secession either.

As a NYer, I would do anything to get away from the scum bags we have in Albany. That includes joining Canada.
NY is a shot-hile state - bottom of the barrel.
There are no redeeming values in NY.

We seem to have been having a friendly debate for quite some time over which state is the most screwed up. My choice is still my home state of California, where lunacy and total incompetence is practiced as an art form. California in a photo over New York, with several other Blue States competing for the minor awards.

Even though I think this is a long way off, if ever, I hope everyone sees why those on the left are so opposed to this.....lmao
You would think after all the talk from the left about how its the red states bringing us backwards etc etc, they would be all for this.....

I believe it when I see it happen. Any crack pot can get signatures on a piece of paper, but making things happen is a different story.

Not really.
You can make things happen when you have a pen and a phone.

And some of those things are completely unintended, as in consequences.

I resent the fact that this debate is moving forward without a serious consideration of the Sunshine State (or don't you fellas read the newspapers?).

Naw, no chance, Florida would have no chance of even making it into the lower rungs of the super. California and New York come down to the wire together, with California winning the nod in a photo. Illinois is the logical choice to finish right behind the top two, with several other eastern Blue States plus Hawaii also contenders for the minor awards. No Red State would merit even minor contender status in the race for The Most Screwed Up State.
