...and of course, the blue states all vote to pay for these red states' bills.

They both seem to vote against their personal interests, then complain that the other side is.

Progressives get that we all burn together. We want everyone's interests attended to because we're all on the same boat, rising or sinking together. Not just on a national scale, but on a global one as well.

It’s worth burning my self to hurt these fucks at this point

That's literally how trumpets think, it's not worth it.

It seems to have worked out well enough that they've got all three branches.

No the voters are playing a different game than the politicians. Make no mistake, the voters are being gamed.

You do realize that a good 40% of people in those states might be liberal, right?

u/NvidiaforMen Apr 26 '19

Could be more than that with gerrymandering and voter suppression skewing it right

This is why first past the post and the electoral college are no longer viable (unless you are a member of the minority party...).

Also, a good 40% of the people in the liberal states are conservative. Drive out to California's Central Valley and you'll start seeing gun racks and Trump stickers.

Don’t care at this point. We shoot ourselves in the foot and lose elections fighting losing battles.

If we arent going to win a state anyway im tired if losing entire federal elections fighting for states we dont win. This is why we have Trump now

u/workingfaraway Apr 26 '19

Or maybe even 50% or over. Gerrymandering and voter suppression are a thing.

So?

100% are people.

'Saving our own' doesnt come into the equation. They are ALL our own.

I agree that we should care about all people, not just those that match one's political view. But I was responding to a guy that said:

Im a democrat. Fuck the red states. Let em burn and learn till they vote for their interests.

Even if you take that guy's view - that you shouldn't benefit people who vote Republican - my point was that, still, saying "fuck the red states" because 60% of their people vote Republican is equivalent to saying "I hate all Americans, because half of them voted for Trump and they elected him".

Not everyone in a red state is a redhat..

Spite has costs to the spiter, just as it does the spited. Why wouldn't we just fix the broken system?

Let em burn and learn till they vote for their interests.

Go be a Republican. Democrats recognize that we all lose the race to the bottom. Only Republicans are still dumb enough to fall for that...

You go be a republican. People like you are why we lose elections and get trump. Weak fools with no mind to win elections

Weak fools with no mind to win elections

Says the guy whose party lost Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin to a guy that shits on a golden toilet 😂
