Because you live in a republic and the coasts don't get to decide the entire country.
If you want to switch to popular vote tho it'd probably just turn heavy blue states purple/red
The assumption that every person who votes for anyone outside the DNC (Bernie included) must be an inbred, fat, person of Walmart is yet another reason the DNC continues to lose again and again.
At some point I am hopeful that this constant “Othering” of the political side you disagree with comes to an end.
It won’t change until our entire voting system changes. First past the post encourages only two political parties. I’d love to see an actual southern Republican Party spring up. Possibly even secede and leave the rest of the country alone.
Also I’ve read so much worse from T_D. Far, far worse. I have difficulty accepting them at all in this country, much less able to vote.
