This means that sanders effectively broke even with Clinton for delegates over the 4 weekend primaries, which is the most boring possible result

I know. At a higher level I'm a Sanders fan, but at my lowest, basest level I just want as much chaos and senseless horror as possible. :smith:

(though actually it's +3 Sanders overall woohoo he's on fire)

i am thinking that if 46% of the vote (looks like it was 78% turnout, pretty good by american standards) voted for the status quo then maybe they really would turn down the option in a fair election (although what is that even? a 'territory or state' ballot would probably piss off the independence people, a three-way one would piss off everybody else probably)

Best way would probably be if they used an approval voting system.

pre:
VOTE FOR AS MANY OPTIONS AS YOU LIKE:

[ ] Independence
[ ] Remain a Territory
[ ] Statehood
[ ] Free Association ‽

But that's never used in America for some reason.

I used to think Maine was cool. That's where Pennywise lives, right?

Now that they voted for Cruz of all people, I'm not so sure.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Massachusetts, the colony, was once yuge, but then it lost Rhode Island...and then Connecticut...and then New Hampshire. Independence from Britain followed, but in 1820 Maine left Massachusetts, leaving it smaller than ever.

It's a wonder Massachusetts didn't keep losing land with that track record.

Although this one is Connecticut in particular, most of the original colonies started with similar coast-to-coast claims, albeit never really governing that far out.

Half the posters in this forum have been made up. This website is a goddamn ghost town.
The colonies shouldn't have given up their original claims. The US should be made up of stripes across the continent.

It turns out that when there's nobody living to the west*, you can just claim as much as far out as you want!

*non-white people don't count

Also fun fact, the "Western Reserve" name survives as part of Case Western Reserve University, among other things.
