- shawn_w 1y agoCalifornia, like a lot of other "blue" states, turns deeply red once you get away from the cities and into more rural areas. It's just the cities have so many more people that they dominate statewide elections.
- mlrtime 1y agoWhat's wrong with that? Do you think the popular vote should pick the president and half the country is ruled by people that prioritize living in a city and all that entails.
- gilbetron 1y agoAh yes, the problem of "more people" determining elections. It should be the minority that determines elections!
