    Vermont… I think we could get this done pretty quick… In fact, I bet the rest of the US wouldn’t even notice… Bonus, we’ll bring Bernie.

      Vermont is already a honorary Canadian province for producing so much maple syrup.

        Making maple syrup is my favorite late winter activity! I suck at it and have no real setup so it always has an ash flavor… But sitting around a fire all day watching sap boil is very relaxing… Almost everyone taps a tree or two at least.

          Upvote for semi-obscure history reference, which unfortunately most products of US education won’t get.

        Gotta get your politics in line… Ranked choice voting was a good start… Is that still a thing?

          For federal offices yes, for state offices it would require a constitutional amendment. I think Maine is decently progressive despite the second district.
