Here's Paul Ryan, in a single sentence, explaining why he and Mitt Romney lost to the black guy.
"I think the surprise was some of the turnout, especially in urban areas, which gave President Obama the big margin to win this race."
Yeah, it wasn't the fact that a majority of Americans rejected Romney/Ryan's and the GOP's policies, it wasn't the fact that most Americans thought Obama/Biden deserved a second term -- it's just that those "urban" people -- well, you know how they are.

(19,458 posts)The media and the republicans always act as if allowing "urban" voters to vote, is somehow unfair to everyone else. As if they're cheating the system by showing up to vote.

(82,383 posts)The Electoral College gives them an advantage where they have two electoral votes for each state regardless of population. Urban voters would rule the nation if not for the EC, so STFU you ungrateful liar!

(20,136 posts)but in reality most of the "red states" are the huge (mid)western states with lots of empty space and only 3-5 electoral votes.

(7,113 posts)in typical Thug speak Urban = black and every other minority against you.
When will they learn their lesson that they can keep messing around and will keep coming up short if they don't cut the dog whistle speak out?
They'll never learn. I doubt they think they have anything to learn which is even sadder.
