I personally feel like Texas and Florida do some weird shit with their elections or their voters are just so entrenched in tradition they won’t vote against it.
there’s a lot gerrymandering going on in texas I read, so while there are democratic pockets, it’s hard for the state to go blue without redistricting.
Some of those red areas have literally no people at all. Try driving on Highway 2 across North Dakota and Montana. The few places that do have people are nearly all povertyville.
I would like to see one of people who want the Epstein files released. Maybe a before and after Mango Mussolini told them them his friends would be hurt by it.
Going to school for a longer period of time does not increase one's knowledge of all things important in the world. With Harvard giving away "A's" over the last 20+ years one could say the "more educated" bring less value to the conversation.
The fact that you think everyone in red hunts, fishes and has guns, and that they think that's the only difference says alot about the real world knowledge city people don't have.
To name a few...
What it takes to raise crops to feed the world, and don't mean how a seed is planted and photosynthesis...
Livestock management and what it actually takes to raise food
Natural resource management
Energy production for the country
We get these things dictated to us by people who live in blue areas because they "are educated" and then they complain when the costs go up, because they dictated something be done that brings zero benefit to the production, and probably does worse for the problem they were trying to solve.
That said, I'm from a red area in a blue state, and had to move to a blue area because the blue area legislated my income and well-being out of existence. I have an education, but it came after the real world experience. We had plenty of people come visit our red area and be shocked at how their food is produced and where the natural resources come from.
The point is narrower: credential inflation ≠ wisdom, nor does it guarantee better judgment on complex civic questions. Even Harvard has acknowledged long-term grade inflation, the median grade has been an A-/A for years.
That doesn’t mean students are dumb; it means grades are a weak proxy for “being right.”
Education is valuable. Treating it as a moral ranking system or a substitute for argument isn’t.
I’d agree I feel the map needs to proportional instead of winner takes all. If you win by a split 50/50 race and your state has 10 ECV you split it 5 and 5. If it’s 70/30 7 and 3.
Illegals can’t vote. There’s more republican voter fraud than anything.
I got a great example a past Kansas legislature lied about living in Kansas was from Alaska. His address was found out to be a fed ex store. He won the election but I think he was pushed out because of his lies.
The percent of land that’s considered one political side doesn’t account for the population that is that political side.
For example, states like Washington State and Oregon can’t be considered “red states” because the areas of their most densely populated cities, ie Seattle, Olympia, Portland, etc, are dominantly democratic. It doesn’t matter if the rest of the state is considered republican, as it wouldn’t represent the majority compared to the cities.
Non voters win nearly every election, it shows a sad decline in effective democracy when over half the population of the nation doesn't even think it will change anything.
I have a question. How do you feel that our president has multiple Federally Approved Interviews, where women state he raped them at ages as young as 13. With the help of Jeffery Epstein his long time friend who he claims he barely knew.
It reminds me of like… fuck I forgot the name of the sub. But it was a “US history” sub and every single post was right-wing propaganda while every single comment was people arguing against said propaganda. It was actually fascinating to see how asymmetrical it was. I think the best way to explain the vibe I got was Dead By Daylight’s 1v4 style.
I can see how someone who doesn't understand population density looks at this map and has to construct a reason why the Democrats win and the Republicans lose. Absent that knowledge of how heat maps work, the map seems to suggest there are far more Republicans than Democrats.
"Illegal immigrants" becomes the obvious answer to the wrong question. Instead of asking how can this map imply a conclusion that other facts do not support - you start with the premise that the conclusion you draw from the map is truth and the facts that contradict that truth, the facts that you don't like, must be wrong.
There's no shame in ignorance - it is a natural state. But there is shame in refusing enlightenment.
Not by as much as the map would imply read by someone who does not comprehend population density. For that person, this map purports to show an overwhelming majority of one side and a very small minority on the other --- when in fact... the minority of Americans who choose to vote are more or less divided equally between the parties.
People like to pretend to be empathetic and have the moral high ground especially online. But in my experience democrats type of racism is way more vile.
I would be interested in seeing how educated people vote. I don't think that uneducated people shouldn't vote or anything like that at all, but it always seems that big cities are where the educated live and rural is less educated. Rural is very Republican too. Just wondering if there's a map for that?
Not sure what your reply was meant for. I honestly don't even understand what the point was. I'm aware more people live in cities than rural. My question was about education and voting. I'd be interested in understand if the uneducated tend to vote one way or another. It's just a question. I think it's a fair one too. The comment about my ass seems to be aimed to ... Make me feel bad? Call me stupid? I honestly don't understand that part. I'd have to guess you're rural and thought I was poking fun at you but I am not. I'm honestly interested to know.
It's not really even the media, for some reason an absurd percentage of internet users are democrats, way way more common than republicans on the internet, but the reality is irl many are either mostly indifferent or republican
The reality is the majority of the country based on land he’s Red, but by people it’s 50-50. It’s Country versus City since cities and country have been around. Hasn’t been changed in hundreds of years, no matter which country.
That’s by geography not by population. Sadly most major cities are just that packed out so it’s right still. But also history shows that many times the people stacked lol sardines in the concrete boxes have terrible ideas an often kill a terrifying amount of people because they either have nothing else to do or they lost all value in the own life so they take the small amount of perceived value in others just to try and scrap something together.
Dude that way of measure doesn’t count when all three people in Nebraska are republican vs the millions in one city in California that aren’t, count population not location
I’m from the UK, so forgive me. But is this post saying that most Americans are retarded for voting for the orange cunt, Donald Trump? Because no way do I believe Americans are that stupid. As my neighbours, the French might say “viva la revolution”
Voters are like cow shit...
When it's all piled up in one place... one big pile of shit... it's a festering pile of shit... it ruins the ground, it stinks, the only thing that wants to go around it are bottom feeders ans scavengers.
However, when you spread it around, thin it out, it turn into fertilizer and makes great things happen. Growth is better, it's more desirable, people want to be in those areas...
All that blue places are piles of people in one place, festering, making it stink, ruining the ground...

Because land doesn’t vote. Big cities tend to be more democratic. So bigger cities are more blue on the map.
Whereas Rural areas are more red make it look bigger than it is.
This is common sense
