Fr not only do they lose the popular vote.. even the red states aren't all 80/20.. there are miserable intelligent Americans everywhere and nobody gives a shit. I've lived in blue bubbles my whole life and spent a ton of time in red places with red people (stop, you know what I mean), and there are always normal blue people. And most red people are only a disinformation or two away from being with it. Unfortunately that's all it takes in a two party system and they game it well. Take away angels and abortion and before the hell cult, most Americans are half decent and not Nazis.

That was the thing about Arizona it took the Democrats realizing it was a purple state and they should vote. That's why these states seem to flip so suddenly. Then of course it's a decade or two wait to get a state legislature that's not gerrymandered to hell and back.

With the abortion issue there's new organizing going on in a bunch of previously locked down red states.
