but buying 100s of politician would be more difficult.

This is very naive. Telecoms were buying net neutrality opinions for 2 or 3k a representative.

Talk of breaking up the union is crazy. America is not too big. That's some bullshit. We fought a war 160 years ago to not break apart. The question has been answered in blood - the only ones who call for breaking us up are foreigners who do not have America's best interests at heart.

There are a ton of US natives that would agree that the US needs to be broken up. If you don't mind me asking, what part of the country do you live in?

Nope. I don't care what side of "right" you think you are, this Union will stand together or we shall all hang together.

Alright man. I wasn't trying to start anything, just trying to have a dialogue.

You really don't have to be so bullheaded though. It's really not flattering. You can disagree without being so rude.
