Really my point was how pathetic it is to compare winning the popular vote by an indisputable margin with a participation trophy. Oh, millions more people like your vision for the country? Well, thanks for playing! We're going to pretend we have some sort of mandate and start fucking over most of the country.

(C)linton won a single state by 4.2+ MM votes and lost the other 49 by a combined ~1.5MM votes.

she can be president of California, a match made in hell.

If California was a country it would have the fourth largest economy in the world. Why do conservatives hate progress and greatness?

I guess you think President Pence's Indiana is what a state should look like. I'm either driving through or flying over that crossover state. The best scene is the electric producing windmills halfway between here and Chicago.

Can't reason with ideologues.


Can't reason when your reasoning is flawed.

And this view isn't cognizant with how our country is designed to run. Appealing to large urban centers ignores that the framers intentionally set up the electoral college to make sure a president had a more broad appeal across the country.

When people don't say votes matter in a Representative Democracy their reasoning is very, very flawed.

But you believe embryos can be corporations in terms of logical conclusions, so that goes back to that first thing.

if the min wage was $500/hr no one would be poor. the president of California can pass that law.
good for them. they can take hostile action and secede, voiding their contract with the US and forfiet use of its infrastructure. Wouldnt be the first democrat state to pull that stunt.

Cali also pays negative taxes after benefits to the federal government. Gee, I wonder why.

You're probably going to quote a buzzfeed article trying to prove the opposite next.

Orthodox economics proves it beyond a doubt. It is the right that has benefited by fake news and lower civic participation.

Blue states subsidize Red states. Fucking welfare queens.

But not through any actual need, but due to uniform welfare requirements that are applied to highly disparate economies. Blame yourselves.

Because Red states fail to provide a reasonable standard of living and need help? Lol.

Look to Ohio for how to be successful. It's pragmatism with compassion ;) Not rejecting health care for your citizens in the name of freedom, which is a misnomer for free trade fundementalism, the current greatest threat to open society, would be a start.
