In October, Greene conducted a Twitter survey to gauge people’s interest in a national divorce between Republican- and Democratic-leaning states. The unscientific poll found 48 percent of people wanted the US to stay together, while 43 percent called for a political division and 9 percent were undecided.

We shouldn't break up the country but we should divide the federal government into a constitutional government and a socialist government. Each of the two federal governments would still have three branches. Each state should vote on which federal government they participate with on taxes and laws. The United States of America would remain intact but operate under two separate federal governments.

That sounds unworkable. If they can't co-operate under one system, how would adding a second system make them any more cooperative?

Ah, or leave it as is. It’s working fine.
