1. I don't think that's realistic, GOP gerrymandered all the districts in 2010

[freshwest]

4. And that will be the lay of the land until the next census in 2020.

[existentialist]

16. the map

isn't based on congressional or legislative districts.

It is based on counties.

[freshwest]

2. Rural versus urban.

[jwirr]

7. All about the electoral college.

[ehrnst]

8. Bingo. There are a lot of people that move out to rural areas

because they don't want to deal with people or diversity.

[freshwest]

15. It's a terrrible thing. They drool over the thought of people in cities dying from want, but we are

the ones who buy their goods and keep them viable.

They're sick and will kill anything that isn't identical to them.

I know there are pockets of Democrats, progressives and liberals in those areas, but they are literally beaten down if they try to reason with the neanderthals among them.

They have left America and the Dream behind unfortunately.

3. GOP - wow we won!!

We won more counties
We won more land
We won more trees
We won more cows
etc. etc.

oops - they won more PEOPLE

13. Precisely. These maps greatly distort reality

Oklahoma has a population total of 3.8 million people. Obama won over 5.5 million in California alone.

5. Acres of empty land are people, my friend.

So says the GOP.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. So am I correct: Utah, Nebraska and Oklahoma...

....are the only true red states?

[LiberalFighter]

9. Only if you allow a state to be called red even if some vote Democratic

[LiberalFighter]

10. Now lets see a map that is proportional to the votes.

14. Now Hear This: Dirt doesn't vote.

People do.

That is all.
