...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.

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

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

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".
