I’m talking takes that make them immediately throw out the civility fetish and reach for the most crying wojack buzzwords in their vocabulary

    Pointing out that California has more money than most countries with universal healthcare/housing for the homeless/free tuition/mandated labor reps on boards/etc and California has no Republicans obstructionists, therefore the only reason California doesn't have those progressive mainstays is because the Democratic Party fundamentally just doesn't believe in them.

      Liberals like to argue that California should be a country based on that but don't consider that this new country would have angry neighbours that control its water supply

        Tell the libs if they care about democracy they should really hold a UN-style plebiscite on the future of California. All residents, regardless of citizenship, get to vote (UN standards, remember). LA and southwards would vote to join Mexico, northern CA would vote to finally break away from the rest of the state, and the rest could stay California. It would be an improvement for everyone, honestly.
