As a spokesperson for CA citizens, we'll take it! Please and thank you.
Only if they take Washington and Oregon too.
As a WA state resident, we require inclusion in the deal. In fact, you buy 1 California and receive a complimentary WA state for free! Act now, and receive a special-one-time Oregon while supplies last!
If it were up to me Canada would buy us. I heard their getting China EVs soon.
As a Washingtonian, yes please, and thank you for including us and Oregon. It is greatly appreciated!
An overland route between Mexico and Canada that doesn't go through the US, that could be interesting.
Would you be fine if we just made you EU members instead of a state? That might make things less complicated. And would piss Trump off even more.
The Californian Republic would definitely have the most interesting flag in the EU. Too many tricolors, not enough bears.
I'll happily start learning ~~Dutch~~ Danish
Unless I'm being wooshed, I think it might be best to start learning the actual languages spoken in Denmark unless you expect the Netherlands to outbid them lol
I'm a dumbass
Where do I sign?!
Can other states join? Asking for friends.
I think it's psychologically important for Denmark to own California
It's psychologically important for me to, the change would be of immense psychological benefit to me.
Why is it even part of the US? Just because some ships have been landed there? Well, danish has landed there too.
I, for one, welcome our new Danish overlords!
You gotta keep the Bear.
Texas or Florida would have been a much more appropriate choice. Trump doesn't even like California.
No one wants to buy Florida.
I don't know. Is there a country of Shreks out there somewhere? They might want to buy the thing.
Can we just put Florida up for sale?
Hey listen: California is vital for Denmark's security, for some reason. Also, the Danish prime minister was snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize, so that means that they're going to invade us if we don't comply with the sale.
All sales of California include a complementary Washington State, and yes, it's mandatory.
Shit, wait for me to get there first!
Oh damn, don't tease me with a good time. I'm not a rich man, but I'd make a donation to help pay for the purchase.
Canada wants to buy Minnesota. They seem like our kind of people.
Frankly, I'd like to move to Denmark or Greenland, but they'd probably be understandably suspicious of me.
That was LAST YEAR!
Yup. Just saw articles from Feb 2025.
Good thing is they're up to 285k now!
Count me in for being absorbed by Denmark!
I should moving to Denmark because I’m part of Denmark so fuck America!!!!
Please buy all the west coast. We're like triplets and don't want to be parted. /puppydogeyes
Sold!
200,000, that's almost an entire suburb of LA!
Don’t tempt us with a good time.
Also, can you take MA too? We have lots of neat bioscience stuff, tons of universities, and a similar dislike of orangeboi.
I would give the Danes a bundle deal. Buy California and I'll include all the Blue States.
Take the whole west coast. OR and WA are sick of this BS too. Hell, take HI as well!
I as an Asian support this deal. Please go ahead with it.
a package of benefits that reads like a parody of Nordic governance. The petition promises “rule of law, universal health care, and fact-based politics”
That’s not even a parody, just daily life in the nordics contrasted with the US.
California is one of the few states (most) Americans would not want to give up.
How about some of the Deep South?
