This is a trite and stupid meme that needs to die. Let's look at Alabama, for example. You see those darkest counties? They overwhelmingly vote for Democrats at the national level. The same is true for Mississippi and other southern states. (I'd have to look at data for outside the region since I'm less acquainted with the politics & demographics of other parts of the country.)
Now click the other map that shows absolute numbers of people living below the poverty line and you will find the majority of people in poverty live in either so-called blue states or Democrat strongholds within "red" states.
Now crawl back to Reddit with your sanctimonious and paternalistic drivel.
- beedogs 13y agoFunny how two brand new accounts were created just to downvote and insult me. Didn't know the GOP was astroturfing HN now, too.
- turgenev 13y agoYou could [1] see it as a testament to the idiocy of your remark that two lurkers were finally roused to register in order to rebut it. 1. But of course you wouldn't.
- beedogs 13y agoNah, I'll see it for what it is: two imbeciles (or, more than likely, one individual imbecile who registered two accounts) nitpicking.
- turgenev 13y agoI was not aware the definition of nitpicking had expanded to include direct denial of the premise. Though you will presumably chalk it up to conspiracy, that your comment was quickly dispatched to the bottom of this thread should give you pause.
