I don't get why California doesn't just join the European Union and exit the US; it's not like the red neck states like California.
- tokioyoyo 1y agoThe election was less than a year ago. As an outsider, my genuine belief is this is what an average American wants. And honestly, it is what it is. I mentioned this before as well, but this all can be viewed as a side effect of the general population not feeling improvements in their lives and not having optimism. Hard issue to solve, if I’ll be honest.
- michaelt 1y agoThey had an election, and in California there was 1 vote for Trump for 1.52 votes for Harris [1] so even within one of the bluest of blue states, 40% of voters support the current administration.

- shawn_w 1y agoCalifornia, like a lot of other "blue" states, turns deeply red once you get away from the cities and into more rural areas. It's just the cities have so many more people that they dominate statewide elections.
- mlrtime 1y agoWhat's wrong with that? Do you think the popular vote should pick the president and half the country is ruled by people that prioritize living in a city and all that entails.
- gilbetron 1y agoAh yes, the problem of "more people" determining elections. It should be the minority that determines elections!
