This article is giving me 2016 "don't worry about it" vibes.
newsweek is garbage.
You aren't even allowed to wrap fish with it any more!
Why the fuck is the map made of hexagons?
Zoom in, and cannot even read the state abbreviations
It's actually a decent way of showing "land doesn't vote" when the states have equal representation (like US senate).
For electoral votes, you start with this but then make them larger per total count. Greatly corrects the "USA is 90% red!!!" that you get if you just color the states as-is.
"Worst map ever!"
I've never seen someone HTML tag their comment before.
It was fairly common ~15 years ago
people used to do it all the time, but as it was passed around it degraded now all you get is "/s"
The map below shows the states...
No, it very much does not!
WTF is an anti-Donald Trump vote?
mine
Everyone voting for Biden, wishing they had a younger, better candidate, but at least its not Donald Motherfucking Trump.
Everyone who is forced to vote Biden because they don’t want Trump again would fall under that category. I believe it’s a substantial portion of the US population.
People who vote for Biden but resent having to.
Doesn't matter if they don't go out and vote.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former president increased his number of delegates to 995 on Tuesday, according to the latest update from the Associated Press, after 15 states and one territory voted in Republican primaries across the country.
With a candidate needing 1,215 delegates to secure the nomination, the votes were a resounding success for Trump, and reaffirmed expectations that he will run against the Democratic incumbent Joe Biden in November's presidential election.
But Haley, the former South Carolina governor who was Trump's remaining rival in the GOP primary race before she announced she was quitting, performed moderately well in a number of states, showing that Republican support for the former president is not unanimous.
Speaking on Fox News, former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove raised concerns about Republican Party unity.
"There's still some work to be done to unify the Republican Party and that's going to depend a lot on his tone tonight and whether or not he stops doing things like calling [Haley] 'Bird Brain' and threatening that if you give money to her campaign you're going to be permanently banned.
Scott Lucas, a professor in International Politics at University College Dublin, told Newsweek the Republican Party is very divided and Haley and her supporters may not switch their allegiance to Trump.
