    If they want to pack themselves into urban areas supposedly because they have "culture" and "diversity" ....and thus reduce their overall voting strength.


    More power to them.

    I'll stick to my rural area where votes actually mean more.

    bozo.jpg Well, usually people wind up in cities because there's things like jobs here.
    I can see why you'd hate "diversity" being that it involves interacting with people of different faiths and coloured skins... it'd shake up your passive white christian supremacist worldview. I guess "culture" is bad because of... why, actually?

    Glad to see you hate democracy so much that you believe that some votes are worth more than others.

    Demonstrating that the people whose entire job is to pay attention to and actually understand what's going on ... tend to vote Democratic.

    Hmmm, I wonder what that could tell us?

    Pretty elitist position you are taking there.

    No wonder the Democratic Party is verging on collapse.

    "Meanwhile, a News Flash for You: In my lexicon, a "redneck" may be from Bumfuck, Alabama, but can equally be from Burlington, Vermont. Or indeed from the freaking Kerguelen Islands. Doan matter. It's anybody who's mean an' uncharitable an' hateful."

    You have no fucking idea what a redneck is! I don't give a fuck what some author thinks - he's as clueless as you I guess. There are nice rednecks, there are mean rednecks.

    http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Redneck BTW if a redneck sees a black family standing beside the road with a broke down car 99 percent will pull over to help them - just for an example of redneck behavior. BTW here's something for your know-it-all ass:

    What you call "elitist," the self-aware simply call "informed."

    Damn you liberals are all hung up on yourselves :lol: smelling each other's farts, patting each other on the back, and glad-handing each other. And I think you hold the world record for the longest continuous circle-jerk. Endless hilarity - it's going to be a great eight years no doubt about it!

    Nothing like trying to shame people for taking the time to be informed...

    How is it that a teacher is so resentful of education?

    I don't know if Trump would, but I'd bet money Steve Bannon would, and now that he's on the National Security Council, I wouldn't rule it out.

    The Democratic party got more votes than the Republican party in both the presidential and the Senate elections.

    That's a funny thing to happen when you're supposedly verging on collapse because you're elitist and out of touch.

    Which means nothing at all.

    Hey if you guys want to try and build a national party out of winning only 19 states keep doing what you're doing.

    If presidents and senators were elected on the basis of nationwide popular vote it would mean something.

    They aren't.

    So you are correct, it means nothing at all.

    All you've done is demonstrate that the system is stacked in favor of your party.

    That does not give you any kind of claim to moral superiority.

    You said:

    How does "elitist" jibe with "being the party with the most support from the people"?

    "most support"

    You're talking about a couple of percentage points of voters the margin coming from a handful of large urban centers

    Rolling up big voter totals in New York City and Los Angeles hardly confers any special legitimacy either.

    Why does that matter?

    Are people who live in cities somehow less American than people who don't?

    The quote from the Newsroom a few years ago rings true: "If you liberals are as smart as you claim then why do you lose so god damned ALWAYS?" :D

    I recall one of the golden nuggets to come out of the right wing echo chamber was that Ben Rhodes was advising Obama on national security and, supposedly, he had no experience. Now then Trumpians, explain how Steve Bannon is qualified to serve on the National Security Council. We're waiting.
