As well it shoukd be. The oresident resides over all regions and as such should be accepted by all cultures and regions. He should be discouraged from throwing minority cultures under a bus.

A congressman only has to represent his one district, he is local in nature, so he doesnt have to consider diverse cultures across different states and regions as he covers a small local area.

@thegonzoism @LouisIngenthron @trinsec

We have electorial colleges in the usa, so no it isnt one person one vote. We do this to ensure the interest of all groups and cultures must be considered and grouos that respresent minorities are less likely to be abused. Makes sense to me.

@LouisIngenthron @casastorta

When talki g about effects on the masses your individual expiernce isnt important... we know from countless psychological studies that people behave worse in high population crowded areas. Even mouse experiments show unhealthy behavior rising when there is overcrowding.

@trinsec Sure this one does that, sorta. Its not a specific year but rather shows the average way a coubty votes. Purple is 50/50 the brighter the red the larger its vote on average towards republican (more people voting consistently)

@casastorta yes that woukd be suburbs, the live near people but arent under u healthy population density... those are generally red too.

@TruthSandwich

Also note even the defi ition you provided entierly agrees with me on both definition a and b.

@TruthSandwich You are rivht, you do t. Here is the oxford dictionary definition.

a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.

@mapto no these arent congressional districts, so gerrymandering doesnt effect this map. It is based off the popular lean in counties.

@casastorta

Yea sorta... when people are huddled on top of eachother and packed densly they tend to go blue. Those same people allowed to be spread out in nature tend to vote red.

One could argue cities are less healthy to live in due to the tight space, overcrowding, violence, etc. This leads to people demanding more controls (a classically blue outlook). We know from rat models overcrowding leads to oretty unhealthy rats.

@mapto No thats unrelated but it is a very real problem. You arent seeing congressional districts here so the effect described in that link is unrelated.

@TruthSandwich you need to relearn your definition of democract cause that aint it.

@TruthSandwich With the electorial college in place they are, or at least, they stand a better chance of it. Otherwise good luck, only if the masta's tell you you are.

@TruthSandwich I am all for the electorial college. Not because dirt should vote, but because avoiding a "tyranny of the minority" is a good rule.. a politician running for president should have to get support from multiple different types of groups and cultures in order to be able to win. Otherwise it will lead to any groups within the minority to be ignored.

@TruthSandwich Yea you keep trying to find points im not trying to make... Again i am not suggesting the red is unfairly treated because of this mapping.

Visual example...

There are no blue states, only blue cities. Something I heard that has a lot of truth to it. #UsPol
