Anyone who gets in a Twitter war with the Dilbert guy needs to point out that they are like Dogbert and Dilbert guy is like the lovely boss. I feel like this would get to him more than anything else.

2. Do you have descriptive opinions of other states you frequent if any? Why is Indiana so conservative compared to Illinois for instance? 3. Is the ARC a hollowed out sack of poo poo excuse of a federal rehab of Appalachia like I'm led to believe? 4. Does anyone here have a drat good summary of Pennsylvania? Last time I was there I was for a model UN conference in Philly...

I went to Philly a year ago for a Model UN conference and thought the place at large looked like abandoned graffiti factory shite, I resided at a huge hotel right next to what has to be the world's largest Albanian Orthodox Church, we had no internet or room service and many, many of my fellow delegates were forced to sleep on the floor because they ran out of beds. I got selected to oversee the UN process over intellectual rights, which was the biggest snooze-fest ever and I had to excuse myself several times. I also forgot to pack more underwear for the five day trip. Everything downtown from coffee to whatever little groceries there were was overpriced compared to back home in Maine, and the nearest restaurant was a chipotle roughly 9 blocks away. We had a dance at the end but it played nothing but poo poo you'd hear on vine compilations with too many seizure-inducing lights and lasers, so it wasn't that enjoyable (except for a couple of lap dances I witnessed seeing). Oh and on the second/third day of the conference the Paris attacks happened, so that was really what I remembered from that trip.

Like, whichever candidate wins the most counties in that state is awarded all the electoral votes, for example? If you did this you'd make enough solid-blue states reliably Republican that you'd hand the Presidency to the GOP on a platter regardless of how the demographics play out in the near future. What are the odds that enough Republican state houses try this that it actually tips the balance of power to the GOP to such a degree that is impossible to overcome? Nebraska and Maine have electoral votes that aren't bound to the popular vote to the state. I imagine there are Republicans that wold love it if every state was like that. Tom Guycot posted:So whats going on in this area?: I have no idea because I know nothing about those places aside from being able to point to them on a map. Teton County in Wyoming went for Obama in 2012 and that's where all of the richest fucks in the state live.

What are the odds that enough Republican state houses try this that it actually tips the balance of power to the GOP to such a degree that is impossible to overcome? Are you suggesting some kind of weird system where each county gets one vote, regardless of population? I have no idea if that's actually illegal or not, but it's blatant enough that I imagine it would cause an unimaginable political shitstorm. You're talking about state legislatures conspiring to disenfranchise the most populous counties in their states. Tom Guycot posted:So whats going on in this area?: I don't know about that area specifically, but keep in mind that the urban/rural divide is a huge simplification. Even a lot of deep red counties will still reliably vote 40-45% Democratic. County maps that only show you which candidate won aren't very useful. Edit- this is 2008, but that whole area looks pretty purple to me:

And before anyone else asks the north shore of Minnesota is blue because of a long history of organized labor in the iron range mining. There's conflict with the environmental interests in the DFL but the coalition has done a good job with the state. Also Duluth has done a decent job of becoming a post-insustrial tourism driven city instead of just a dump.

I guess It's just always seemed like this rather strangely large blob of blue compared to around it. I mean most of the big cities are surrounded by red that then gives way to this massive blue spot.

Also geologically that area corresponds with the driftless region which wasn't glaciated and it means there's more dairy farming and less corn farming.

Indiana's map is basically blue counties where the colleges are, and then Perry down south, which is apparently some very isolated population that works in the auto industry.

Midwest also has weird ethnic enclaves like Yoopers and towns that only just stopped speaking Dutch-only like a couple decades ago. If that's a heavily Lutheran area that may be why. Basically any religious group that got persecuted by the Klan are solid Democrats now for some weird reason

Also Duluth has done a decent job of becoming a post-insustrial tourism driven city instead of just a dump. It helps that Duluth is such a big college town + incredibly beautiful naturally.

He got elected by pretending to be a moderate, then went full nutjob and embarassed us for years running. Attaching himself to Trump is better than losing bigly, which is what he was slated to. A lot of the state is blood red and super lovely, but the evangelicals don't control all the levers like they do in Brownbackistan
