Do you think Vermont should secede from the US and join Canada?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I am fascinated by the desire of groups to create even greater political segregation in North America. The Big Sort has created a high degree of geographical polarization within the states of the US, yet apparently that sorting isn't enough. Is there nothing to be gained by a diversity of viewpoints within a state or country?

I am not trying to create political segregation but Vermont is just so liberal.

Look at the surrounding states PVI:

NH: D+1
ME: D+6
MA: D+10
CT: D+7
NY: D+12 or D+13

Look at Vermont PVI:

VT: D+16

Seems to me that all that means is that it's at the high end of a pretty reasonable continuum of partisanship in a generally left-leaning part of the country. Let's look at those numbers in isolation.

1 6 7 10 11* 16

There really aren't any gaps that I'd call inordinately huge here. Vermont is an outlier within this group, sure, but within reason and only to the same extent that New Hampshire is. Completing the 'New York and New England' monolith by adding in Rhode Island gives us another 11, so Vermont has even more company up towards that end.

*New York's PVI is D+11, not D+12 or D+13

No; to the contrary, I'd like to see several Canadian provinces join the US

Though the politics geek in me wonders how VT would vote in Canadian elections. 

Maybe something like this?

Washington and Windham might go NDP as well, but otherwise that seems about right.
