Most people cannot afford to move. They have jobs, elders to care for, housing, etc.

You are exactly right. We really need to abolish the outdated electoral college system.

Every city in America is full of our people. Even if you don't care about Republicans (you absolutely should if you're a decent person) you should care about your comrades and potential-comrades.

View from someone living in TN: these people really are awful. And if you made the votes fair I don't think a ton would change. But there's people who aren't, caught in the machine created by everyone else's idiot malice. You watch democracy fail to deliver here and it sucks. It sucks a lot.

I always wonder where those people think Black people live.

I've seen plenty of such comments about Nebraska. Purported "coastal elites" joke about how the residents of red states deserve what they vote for. Yet, there are blue voters everywhere in these states. Omaha is Blue, voted for Kamala, both Lincoln and Omaha have Democratic mayors. Come see.

Sarah Kendzior said years ago that there's no red America or blue America - America is purple like a bruise.

More Texans voted for Kamala than the entire voting population of several states combined. Republicans have ruled this state for decades and when their policies crap out (like our privatized power grid with weak regulations), they still try to blame dems.

I ran a huge report on this in '23, which the nonprofit client killed before publication.

WV had a chance to oust Manchin a few years back and thr DNC just stomped Swearingen

Yes. Reinforcing what you said. Just badly.

Republicans wipe the floor in statewide elections. This isn't a gerrymander issue; it's a white Mississippi voter issue.

Agree, it is a big deal. Let’s call it migration, it’s been Great before. We can also ask immigrants about what makes them stay, anywhere.

“I deeply loathe liberals and centrists” you could’ve just stopped there tbh

And we are here in the places we love fighting to make them better and not just up and leave the queer kids and refugees and other marginalized groups here on their own.

Hah, I love this. But my immediate thought about his first post was him asking for receipts that being a biggot like this was racist, classist, etc. Surely blaming an entire state for its fate is just logical. "How is saying, "they get what they deseve" racist or classist?" - Thomas probably.

Tommy boy out here huffing his own farts.

hahahaahhahahahahahah

Yeah, so I still have to take you at your word that there were so many liberals on here saying “they got what they deserved” that you can’t QT me one post to shut me up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thomas Lame

not that you actually care but tons of blue state liberals were saying that trans people in texas like me get what they deserve for voting for the frickin cheeto in the white house. no i will not search for these comments just for you to scoff in cynicism.

It’s great that I now have ten variations of your OP and not a single quote proving your point. 👍

The state is a tar pit; the community celebrates when you can leave. The State has the potential to turn purple, but this mindset that it deserves to be cast aside is a self fulfilling prophecy to never let it happen. The potential voters there aren't lazy. They are broken and tied from the system.
