Plan to split California into 6 states advances

[Badger]

California splitting is grossly unnecessary, and based on silly ideological beefs more than any practical 'need'. The state has proven itself to HARDLY be ungovernable, regardless of whether their leadership is competent or not.

I'd further note that any act of succession should require, even before getting to the legislature and Congress, some super-majority margin to pass, like at least 60%, maybe 2/3. It is a huge and dramatic act that shouldn't be followed on a mere 50% + 1 in a given election.

Although I understand districting and potential candidates/races out of splitting CA is like catnip to us election junkies, this thread just grates to say so many people giving serious discussion over such unbelievably bad proposal.

There, I said it. I'll stop being a buzzkill for now.
