Your citizens votes don't matter after all, only California's.
Democracy is decided by the majority, doesn’t necessarily mean which majority to go with
I think that’s why Key & Peele made some parody about the Electoral College and kept saying “Your vote doesn’t matter”
Kinda funny, anybody here ever read Michael Z. Williamson’s “Freehold”?
I admittedly skimmed it, but there’s a few chapters in which the UN sends a number of failing starships full of starving refugees made of political dissidents, criminals and poor people and says that the titular Freehold “agreed” to accept them
Thing is, while they actually ARE a country made of various immigrants and their descendents, they don’t have much government(they DO have a military)because it’s pretty hands off and have new kmmigrants every now and then
The rather Libertarian Nature means that you either work and adapt or you don’t get fed
Let’s just say due to the rather huge number of people who aren’t culturally acclimated and the fact the UN is constantly watching, they go and riot to be allowed “votes” and to be given lots kf stuff already. Before that they were already causing trouble. Again, wouldn’t have been a problem in the long run if it weren’t flr the UN watching
So, if life imitates fiction, as I theorize it is with Western Libertarian fiction, then pretty soon Virginia will get a HUGE sudden influx of Californians and South Americans as part of some silent or unintentional agreement
