Dear Ed,
Thanks for your email.
I am "coming around" to the position that the best way forward is to start rationalizing "blue state secession" - and subsequent federation with Canada a la European Union. (In the not distant future we can add Mexico.)
In addition to other benefits arising from federation with a civilized country, union-with-Canada will lend "horseshoe-shaped" geographical continuity to The United States And Provinces Of Canamerica/AmeriCan. (Canamerica or AmeriCan for short.)
I revere Abraham Lincoln.
But for nearly 20 years I've been perplexed by his fixation on preserving the Union.
If Abe had let The South secede, I believe Johnny Reb would have soon realized that political Union with the progressive Yanks was far preferable to stewing in their bitter, spiteful, family-tree-don't-fork, dimwitted juice.
And then, no later than 1890, when mechanization eliminated need for slavery, the South would have come whimperingly back to the Union - tail between its legs - begging for re-admission.
If this had happened, there would have been no need to re-litigate The Civil War which is Trump and Trumpistas core aspiration.
"Make America White Again!" is the flip side of "Bring Back White Privilege."
And so, I find myself warming to the prospect of taking one last "noble shot" at choosing The Best Candidate -- not necessarily the most winnable -- and with intelligence and good will uppermost, I believe a Warren-Buttigieg ticket might be "just what the doctor ordered." http://time.com/longform/elizabeth-warren-2020/

Is It Time For The Blue States To Secede From Jesus Land?

However, you should (seriously) consider reading this one on candidate Warren: http://time.com/longform/elizabeth-warren-2020/
