California standoutThe only question that matters
California is already a nation in all but name.
If California were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
California was its own republic before it was a state. For twenty-five days in 1846 the Bear Flag flew over a country that governed itself, and the instinct behind that flag never left. Put a calm, plainly worded question on a ballot, peaceful and binary, and about 59% of California votes to leave the union. That is roughly 18.2 million adults.
Here is why 59% is the honest number and not the abstract one. A poll asks you to react to an idea. A ballot asks you to make a decision, and it puts the choice as a simple yes or no with the peace kept. When the question is worded the way a real vote is put, support runs about 30 points higher than the abstract poll. That moves California from a floor of 29% to a clear majority. The 29% was only ever the understated floor.
