The electoral college and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race
"But we need the electoral college so that the states with the most population don't get to enforce their will on the rest!!!!!"
Weirdly enough, you never see these people advocate for giving preferential weight to the votes of black people, trans people, or any other minority population that's actually oppressed
Democrats will talk about the importance of swing states and designing a campaign around them, but they'll never say "actually, this system where only the votes of a few hundred thousand people matter in a country with 150 million voters sucks".
Bourgeois politics is so exhausting
Electoralism is a circus, and this is one of the sloppier attractions.
In the mind of some, amount of square km matters more than number of people
Landlords only care about land 
What amazing map analysis skills...
Maps for people who don't understand population density
there are zero red states either, except oklahoma. so you win, i guess. your prize: oklahoma in 2024.
be sure to collect your winnings (oklahoma) on your way home (to oklahoma) or it (oklahoma) will be towed away at your expense.
There's also Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Hawaii as full blue states and Alaska and West Virginia as full red states. So it's tied.

The picture is here for a better resolution.
Guy looking at butterfly: is this modern day countryside-supporting Maoism?
If they want to start of by balkanising the US into this I'm cool with that. I suspect the economy of that red area would be more than halved.
That does really seem to be what they think. That people who live in cities are orcs or something and don't count.
They tend to have completely bizarre perceptions of what city life is like, too. Like I haven't been in any gunfights today and I haven't had to fight off 
looters either.
I think that's ultimately what this whole stupid map area thing is - whatever demographics they think live in cities, they're saying that those groups of people aren't " real americans" and shouldn't be accorded the rights of citizens.
That's exactly what they think and it's hilarious. People will talk about how "such and such city was burned to the ground and there's roving gangs of Auntie Va roaming the streets getting into shootouts with MS-13." Of course some of them are being disingenuous, but the average normie chud repeating what they see on Fox News is completely detached from reality.
I see 2 blue states, 3 red. Kind of incredible to post this with that line, like, that's a lot of blue
Chuds may have the same problem reading maps that they do understanding subtext in their treats.
peter parker lookin ahh map
There are literally more fully blue states than there are fully red states on this map..

It's actually tied.
Alaska, Oklahoma, and West Virginia vs Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
Vermont's blue too
Except for Essex county, the lowest populated county (6,010), even compared to Grand Isle county (7,467)
And I trust those cities far more than everything else. Not to imply they're ran by the best and brightest, by any means, but that shit sucks a lot less than the gormless fucks running all those red counties
yeah all those fuckin meadow voles, prairie dogs, snakes, and so on sure are voting for republicans. meanwhile, in places where humans live, it looks like they prefer dems. 
Nah. It's the people that consider those animals fine dining that vote.
wow I wonder what it is about owning lots of stolen indigenous land that makes people more right wing
Vermont, famous city.
Don't forget folks, that most of that red space... is empty space.
someone should tell these people america is on census voting not landed voting.
Because they care about and represent landowners, not people. You should not be considered an "American" unless you own part of America, not just if you live there.
A single family that owns a 10-acre farm are "Real Americans". 500 people living in an apartment building don't count, because they don't own property.
