If we had the position of power to force those states out we'd have a position of power to force them on the right path

    Avoiding.

    If a state had a local popular vote to split and it passed, then a national vote to split was done—would you vote to allow that state to split?

    The premise was kicking out, not a peaceful split. If they voted on it, I would vote against it. I'd rather do every effort to bring them back from oppressive authoritarianism and prevent them from being worse.

    Including throwing other people under the bus. Nice. I’ll bet you’d like to prevent people from leaving the country too. Less blue voters. Gotta make them stay.

    I think you like watching people suffer.

    No, not including throwing other people under the bench. That's what YOU are suggesting, is throwing every gay in texas under the bus.
