I probably have gotten more useful information at the lunch period

2018-01-24 04:38:06 UTC  

I hope the education system is getting people to realize how bullshit it is like I had

2018-01-24 04:38:20 UTC  

That's one explanation for Gen Z I think

2018-01-24 04:38:54 UTC  

You put a walnut in a vice and squeeze long enough, and eventually there's a crack.

2018-01-24 04:47:33 UTC  

Welp, goodnight everyone

2018-01-24 04:47:46 UTC  

2018-01-24 04:48:09 UTC  

hey

What do the numbers mean

2018-01-24 13:54:31 UTC  

I have an idea

2018-01-24 13:54:51 UTC  

Create an info graphic for each special election that has the format of

2018-01-24 13:55:52 UTC  

"if x% of people who voted for Trump in 2016 voted in (special election), the Republican would have won"

2018-01-24 13:59:31 UTC  

E.G

2018-01-24 14:00:19 UTC  

if 79.6% of people who voted for Trump voted for the Republican candidate Gillespie, he would have won

2018-01-24 14:45:06 UTC  

But Gillespie was a Establishment shill. That was the problem.

2018-01-24 14:45:31 UTC  

true

2018-01-24 14:45:36 UTC  

that's why many Trump voters didn't vote for him

2018-01-24 14:45:42 UTC  

still better than Northam though

2018-01-24 14:45:56 UTC  

Gillespie distanced himself from Trump, and blamed Trump when he lost

2018-01-24 14:46:03 UTC  

he campaigned with George W. Bush

2018-01-24 14:46:06 UTC  

Of course. Northern Virginia has way too much power over The whole state.

2018-01-24 14:46:12 UTC  

yep

2018-01-24 14:46:21 UTC  

it's closer to safe blue than purple at this point

2018-01-24 14:46:31 UTC  

If Virginia and West Virginia reunited, the state would be more red

2018-01-24 14:46:40 UTC  

haha, it definitely would

2018-01-24 14:46:47 UTC  

it would be more competitive

2018-01-24 14:46:52 UTC  

I think it would have gone red in 2016

2018-01-24 14:47:33 UTC  

West Virginia only elected Democrats because this was during the time that the Democrats pretended they cared about the little man and Were in support of Coak

2018-01-24 14:47:36 UTC  

Coal

2018-01-24 14:47:40 UTC  

indeed

2018-01-24 14:47:56 UTC  

much of the south elected Democrats to local office until relatively recently

2018-01-24 14:48:10 UTC  

it was a remnant of the time when it was known as the "Solid South"

2018-01-24 14:48:26 UTC  

Ohio was for many years purple. But I think Ted Strickland changed that.

2018-01-24 14:48:49 UTC  

that's the election between the Republican (Theodore Roosevelt) vs his Democratic opponent, Alton Parker

2018-01-24 14:49:01 UTC  

it was a landslide in terms of popular vote

2018-01-24 14:49:18 UTC  

but the south was still solidly Democratic, except for Missouri, which went over to the GOP

2018-01-24 14:49:35 UTC  

Ohio always goes red or blue

2018-01-24 14:49:41 UTC  

But I think it will go Red

2018-01-24 14:50:09 UTC  

Ohio is the opposite of Virginia in that it's a purple state trending safe red
