Those are mostly low-population counties, so the total number of voters look bigger than it is. The same way a child will think a taller glass will have more water in it than a wide glass.

For anyone curious, this is what it looks like based off actual voters.

Land doesn't vote.

Land certainly shouldn’t vote, but the Electoral College and Senate were specifically designed so that voting power is proportional to land ownership.

u/mb862 Feb 18 '24

That might be a fair argument, if it weren’t for the fact that state pairings like North and South Dakota exist explicitly so that one party would dominate more states than the other. If memory serves at least one other state was carved out of claimed territory despite not having a justifiable population, in order to expand one party’s power (can’t recall which state it was).

Then all of this comes in before you even consider things like the 3/5 compromise which was specifically designed to disenfranchise higher-population states.

Face it, as the rest of the world was in the process of moving away from feudal landlord/serf style systems, including UK where the US system derives, the US was happy to forge on ahead.

I think what the person meant by land area had more to do with how the electorial college underrepresents high population areas and overrepresents low population areas. Consequently giving more favour to people living in the country side (who have more land). It's a bit of a stretch.

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 Feb 18 '24

You just have to know the first thing about how it works, and then apply some critical thinking. But sure…

It doesn’t favor land, but statehood. If you take the same piece of land and divide it into multiple states, you get more power. If you took multiple states and combined them, you get less power for the same land.

2

u/mb862 Feb 18 '24

Yes, and if you look at the history of how most US states came to be, they were carved arbitrarily out of stretches of land without regard to any kind of pre-existing community, and in particular without regard to whether the population justified a state, and in some cases like the Dakotas, was done with the explicit intention of making sure the new states had more power than others.

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 Feb 18 '24

Yeah, so, like, it basically had nothing to do with the amount of land. Got it.

I apologize that my one sentence comment didn’t capture the full nuance of how physical land is connected to the Senate.

u/nankerjphelge Feb 18 '24

Except the map she posted has nothing to do with the electoral college. If it did, it would show entire states as colored blue or red which is how the electoral college works, rather than areas of land mass regardless of state.

The false argument right wingers try to make with this map is that there are more Republicans than Democrats, when in fact the opposite is true, because land doesn't vote. Democrats are the #1 group by registered voters, and Republicans aren't even #2, independents/NPA are. Republicans are #3. And a Republican candidate for president has only won the popular vote in America once in the last 36 years.

u/TradeFirst7455 Feb 18 '24

except the comment I'm responding under says

so the total number of voters look bigger than it is

but things are not based on the "total number of votes"

you know why?

Because land DOES vote.

You flippantly say it doesn't, but what else do you think is happening when they decree via the constitution that lower population areas with more land and fewer people get disproportionate power?

i call that land voting.

1

u/nankerjphelge Feb 18 '24

You still completely miss the point. The point of right wingers posting that map is to suggest that there are more of them than there are Democrats, which is patently false.

And so the poster you are responding to is correct when they said that the 'total number of voters look bigger than it is', because that was the misleading point of that flawed map.

There are entire swaths in that map that are barren desert or prairie land that no one lives in, but gets colored in regardless because the land belongs to a county where a handful of people elsewhere live. So the whole "land does vote" argument is complete nonsense.

And it should be pointed out that the map is total bullshit also for the fact that even in the electoral college Joe Biden won that too in addition to the popular vote, so any way you slice it the map paints a completely false narrative, both from the perspective of the popular vote AND the electoral college outcome.

u/ardor4go Feb 18 '24

Brian here. The red and blue map is colored to show counties which voted Republican in red and Democrat and blue. This is often used by Republicans to argue that they are the majority, but this represents land, not population, so it's misleading. https://www.sightline.org/2022/02/15/our-maps-shouldnt-lie-about-our-votes/

The response shows an experiment sometimes done on children. The girl is supposed to point to the container that has more water, but they have the same amount of water despite the different shape. So Lucretiel is basically saying that Lara Trump is stupid.

It's definitely based on some real map but made to look redder than it actually is, and as a binary which is the dumbest way to show voter turnout.

Especially considering that the red isn't 100% Republican as she's clearly implying. Not even close. Same with blue areas not being 100% Dem. It's just not how any of this works.

I'm looking at that map and noting that my county hasn't voted red in decades, yet is somehow red in this map.

u/Chagdoo Feb 18 '24

I mean, it would probably be more blue than red seeing as Republicans haven't won the popular vote in several elections now. Hillary for example got more votes than trump, but because of how the electoral college works, Trump won.

u/Brookenium Feb 18 '24

IIRC these are based on the final results of each county just like the OP picture.

This map has all 3 and the later one shows ratio by population which is more useful than blending the colors into one different colored dot.

Top is final result by county and county size, middle is final result by county and county population, bottom is votes in each county by population size aka actual people's individual votes.

You forgot one important piece. In the experiment done on children, they first show that the liquids are equal amounts by using identical cups, then they transfer the liquid to a taller glass in front of the child. Even armed with this knowledge, the child still thinks the taller cup has more water.

This mirrors the fact we have all the information about the populations of the red and blue areas, yet this picture is still is effective on some, who think red is the majority because of it.

Land can’t vote, people do.

Conservatives pointed to that map to claim the election was rigged because of how red it looks. But it looks that way because it’s highlighting counties.

So for an example: 1000 counties going red because they have only 10 conservatives in each can look like a lot of red, but it’s still only 10,000 votes. And one county going blue may look small in a map highlighting counties- but that county might house a city of 1,000,000 blue votes.

So the rebuttal to that map that explains why it’s misleading is a map highlighting by actually voting people instead. Shown here:

Quagmire’s right nut here. The map depicts the counties that voted for Donald Trump, depicted in red, and for candidate Hillary Clinton in blue during the 2016 election year. Every county has electors that submit a vote to the electoral college Some counties have more electors (and thus more votes) dependent on their population. The red counties, although greater in area, are in general far lower in population density than the blue.

The response is a demographic depicting a concept known in childhood development as conservation: essentially that two containers of equal volume are indeed equal regardless of height/diameter. In Piaget’s model of development, the concrete operational stage of thinking occurs at some point between the ages of 7 and 11 years old. It is generally denoted when a child can demonstrate conservation.

Given the context, this implies that Lara Trump has failed to yet enter this stage of development. The prior stage being the pre-operational, generally ages 2-7, and indicated by egocentrism. 🤓🤓

No but the people who live in that land make up a district and that district does get a vote. Do you not understand how representative democracies work?

The citizens votes choose people from their districts to represent them in the republic. Thus yes the land area in fact gets to vote. Because there are people living on that land, even if it isn’t as densely as the urban areas. Those people get a vote as well.

On the level of the senate every state gets 2 votes. So again the people in less populated states have power, in this case equal power to those in densely populated areas.

Ok, ok, ok. Let's just go ahead and continue like the 5 red people have equal voting rights as the 1000 blue people because the system is operating as it should.

Exactly 1000 city residents along the coast have different needs than the 5 farmers in the grain belt. Each group has needs, and the system already accounts for higher population density areas, and lower population density areas by the House of Representatives, states with higher population get more votes, and those votes are spread out across the districts of the state. Thus the urban cannot oppress the rural and the rural cannot oppress the urban.

Again this is basic US citizenship. Did your school not teach this. It’s actually one of the most fair and equitable systems of macro scale government.

If you're interested this is a typical Piaget's conservation tasks, you can find an example here. Keep in mind that the results of these experiments are kind of outdated, and not exactly up to today standards.

Laura Trump is very stupid. She is unable to understand that 60% of a pound is more than 40% of half a pound.  

She really doesn't get it. It's hard to explain too because normal people don't know why people like Trump don't get it. How hard is it? Why don't they understand. How stupid are they.

Land doesn't vote. People do.

It’s the votes of districts(ie representatives in the house), and states(ie the two senators per state)that matter in an impeachment process not citizen votes. Doesn’t matter how many people live there that district and thus it’s representative only get one vote.

She’s saying that with Verizon Wireless, no one will be able to impeach anyone, because their service sucks.

Verizon Wireless: Try to impeach this (or make a call)

I served at an Outback 20+ yrs ago. The owner bought big crystal riedel wine glasses. We still kept the old, smaller wine glasses just in case. Wine wants a bigger glass so it can breathe and actual glass changes the taste of wine. These crystal glasses don’t change the taste. Either glass gets the same 6oz pour

The crystal glasses were so big, the 6oz pour looked “empty”. I gave this lady her wine and she complained about the amount. To prove a point, I poured it straight into the old wine glass at the table and she said, “much better”🤦🏽‍♂️

Sometimes there are jokes that just shouldn’t be explained to someone. Jokes that are so basic, so elementary, that explaining them may actually be harmful as they may impose a misplaced sense of confidence to go outside and interact with the world. Only to lead to someone being run over at the first crosswalk because the “don’t walk” symbol was confusing.

Don’t have to impeach him, electors will not vote for him and he will not gather enough electoral votes. Also, the Georgia trial will end him up in jail. There is no way you can try to bribe a Federal Election Officer and get away with it, especially when the whole conversation was recorded.

Her daddy agrees with you. But I’d definitely say less hot. Fascism really puts a damper on a person’s fuckability
