well honestly anyone can move here, but they need to apply for citizenship before they can vote in our elections (if we're talking post-secession)

pre-secession, yeah, if you're not trying to gtfo of the south actively you're making poor life decisions, sucks if you can't make it out but I'm not really interested in waiting for your state to catch up to the 21st century before I can do things like provide a decent healthcare system for the people here

i'm not, i don't know why you guys keep making it about race, also my union would probably be bigger than the people we kicked out, I'm down with states from Cali to NY, there's just a few bad apples we gotta get rid of

like I know gay people being able to be married everywhere is the end all be all of political goals but maybe, just maybe, some of the more progressive states would be better off without Texas' electorate influencing their policy

If the states were independent, Jim Crow for sure and probably slavery would be back within a decade, so I say no thanks to your little humanitarian disaster.

Unless by "I don't want Texas influencing national policy" you mean disenfranchising the population and putting the South back under military rule until reconstruction is achieved, in which case okay that's fine.

RaySmuckles posted:

OP, I think States work as excellent laboratories of democracy. You can experiment and tweak a little here and there to see if a policy will be successful, and if it is it can be adopted at the national level. At the turn of the last century states like New York were very progressive and would help lift less progressive states like Pennsylvania or Kentucky up their level with worker safety and food and drug protections by getting their progressive policies adapted at the national level. This is also like Massachusetts and its Health Care law and the ACA.

However, this only works within the greater framework of the federal system, because when a state goes the opposite direction and say bans poor people from voting by issuing a poll tax, there needs to be an indomitable power to check them and enforce human rights. Really, one of the failings of the modern progressive movement is their failure to gain power and institute policy on the local and state level to prove their ideas on a smaller scale and then adapt them to a national scale. There are, of course, a multitude of reasons for this (gerrymandering/money politics).

So should states have more freedom to experiment with different policies? Maybe, but there needs to be a fed so when a state crosses a line, their power can be checked.

This is a good post and a nuanced opinion.

Lots of morally abhorrent things would make the USA a more progressive place for those who remain, I agree that this is undeniable.

For example, we could kick out all nonwhites, this is historically the most effective way to get whites on board with progressive social support. Or I suppose we could kill whitey since this is D&D
