I don't know why you're so married to the "national divorce" idea. Have you looked at state level vote totals? There are large pockets of Republicans in "blue" states and vice versa for Democrats in "red" states. It's really the height of privilege to advocate for such a solution that will leave millions behind to suffer when you live in New York City. It's also just so nihilistic - subscribing to a false notion that things will never get better. I can tell you, that is only true if you're a quitter.

Progress isn't linear. History is rife with steps forward and steps back.

YOLO

So they can fucking move!

And things often don't get better unless you move out of a nightmare situation.

So you want to create a huge humanitarian crisis too?

We've seen how this played out before in history, like with the Greeks and Turks being expelled from the newly created countries of Turkey and Greece after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire.

Give me that anyday of the week and twice on sundays and 4 times any day we have with Trump as POTUS!

Stop being pessimistic.. look at Greece and Turkey now.. and look at India and Pakistan now.. hell look at Yugoslavia and what became of it..

There were so many tensions and they're all resolved now.. people will move.. they just need a reason..

How many deaths are you ok with? Partition was a humanitarian disaster.

Since the final count isn't done yet.. but you know what I'm referring to.. that many dumdums suits me just fucking fine!

After all we take care of our own.. we're not the ones trying to repeal obamacare and other things just to use it as a cudgel against the weak on our side.

You are as weird as they are.


You have your ideals but just look around you.. talk to someone outside your bubble.. even a taxi driver or the latino workers working grocery shops..

Ask them how they immigrated? Was it easy? How many people in a room with did they sleep with to save up money to bring their family here too?

And what they went through is no different than some supposed "humanitarian crisis" and they did it with less resources than Americans do on the wrong side of the fence.

All I'm saying is if Iraqi's can use Apple Maps and walk from Iraq to Germany.. which is 3 times the distance.. I'm sure someone from Tennessee can walk to New Jersey!

But apparently thinking outside the bubble with reason = weird!

There are about 1.9B Muslims worldwide, and he's on record as saying...

They can go fuck themselves except the ones tolerant of others in UAE/ Dubai/ Abu Dhabi/ Kuwait. But those places are like islands of blue in a sea of red.. however they're independent countries!

We really ought to learn from them and make blue states/ cities their own countries!

Being ok with thousands and thousands of deaths makes you weird.

It's not like I'm off sending them to Iraq to fight in a war for nothing.

And I think you are painting a utopia that doesn't exist.. there will be some deaths no matter what. FFS the host of The Majority Report passed away.. he was 37. That death wasn't due to some "humanitarian crisis or traffic accident."

People tend to take calculated risks in life. So commuting from red state to a blue state will have ZERO more deaths than just what happens in normal traffic conditions.

I hope you didn't pull a muscle doing that stretch.
Nope!

It is sort of funny that the real life results of your preferred policy are so absurd that you accuse other people of being absurd.

Alternatively you could just say ‘my policy is stupid, I agree.’

Well then time to teach yourself.. a national divorce is the only way and stop looking at me weirdly.. because I simply followed the most logical conclusion..

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth!
We don't need the majority of those shit people to win. I mean look at GreenMan, they just into get worse and shittier and more ugly. You really think I think these people are redeemable? Hell no.

I mean really all we needed to win this election it's just to have gotten more people to show up.

Serious question - Do you think the person in the middle mirror should use the women's or men's bathroom?

FYI - The person in the middle mirror, was born female. GOP is pushing legislation that would force this person to use the woman's bathroom. Do you think that is a good idea?

They just want to pee in peace.
