Just population change?

2020-01-19 04:43:58 UTC  

Electors are appointed based on population counts from the Census performed every decade.

2020-01-19 04:44:13 UTC  

I want to smash them but we're not going to get NY or CA or ME.

2020-01-19 04:44:53 UTC  

We want to help

2020-01-19 04:44:53 UTC  

Everyone is fleeing NY because of crippling taxes. The losing more and more people

2020-01-19 04:45:11 UTC  

Upstate is not shrinking as much

2020-01-19 04:45:26 UTC  

NYC certainly is

2020-01-19 04:45:35 UTC  

The taxes are a factor, but the rent crisis/high minimum wage is a bigger one

2020-01-19 04:45:54 UTC  

rent crisis, as in, rents are too high?

2020-01-19 04:45:58 UTC  

Upstate doesn't have those peoblems

2020-01-19 04:46:21 UTC  

Rents are too high and there is no construction to fix the issue

2020-01-19 04:46:31 UTC  

Because rent controlls are fun.

2020-01-19 04:47:12 UTC  

Look I am sorry and I appreciate the effort but it is not going to happen. AT best if we can beat them badly enough that they feel threatened in NY and CA they might retreat from their more socialist policy.

2020-01-19 04:47:13 UTC  

To be fair, ME only went blue in 2016 by 22,142 votes - Hillary won by 0.04% more votes than Trump

2020-01-19 04:47:23 UTC  

There's a strong change Maine could vote Red in 2020.

2020-01-19 04:47:37 UTC  

AH meant MA.

2020-01-19 04:47:58 UTC  

Maine could yeah

2020-01-19 04:48:14 UTC  

If the city was deleted new York would be as red as Alabama

2020-01-19 04:48:29 UTC  

MA - not a chance in hell. Almost a Million more votes went Blue in a state with only 3.2 Mil voters.

2020-01-19 04:48:46 UTC  

Yeah i saw a county election map and upstate is fucking redder than Texas

2020-01-19 04:49:26 UTC  

And thats coming from a East Texan

2020-01-19 04:49:31 UTC  

Yeah

2020-01-19 04:49:38 UTC  

But we are also basically all atheist

2020-01-19 04:49:45 UTC  

It's hilarious

2020-01-19 04:49:51 UTC  

I'm still going with Reuters on 2020 being a Republican landslide.

2020-01-19 04:50:27 UTC  

Oh yeah the only way Trump and the Republicans lose is hubris.

2020-01-19 04:50:34 UTC  

I think it's because of NYC we are so red. Like we literally have the British/American situation in miniature

2020-01-19 04:50:55 UTC  

Because NYC has a majority of the house and Senate in the state.

2020-01-19 04:50:58 UTC  

DemonRats are to fractured and weak.

2020-01-19 04:51:53 UTC  

Unpopular policies and Identity Politics aside, they lack a strong or charismatic candidate.

2020-01-19 04:52:17 UTC  

Besides, we all know the DNC will choose Biden by default.

2020-01-19 04:53:12 UTC  

Do we?

2020-01-19 04:53:16 UTC  

The debates are a waste of time. Bernie and Warren will be SOL for the Iowa Caucuses and Super Tuesday with the Dem-inspired Senate Impeachment Trial.

2020-01-19 04:53:21 UTC  

They have been pushing Warren hard

2020-01-19 04:53:42 UTC  

Yes. Warren and Bernie as Senators will be stuck in the Trial rather than campaigning - they're essentially out.

2020-01-19 04:54:03 UTC  

My prediction Biden becomes nomine with Warren as his running mate

2020-01-19 04:54:36 UTC  

Its probably one reason shes started attacking bernie

2020-01-19 04:54:51 UTC  

Nah. That's not how Democrats think. They will think "how Nobel of them to prosecute the hittler in Chief, what's Biden doing? Going for his own gain that's what"

2020-01-19 04:55:18 UTC  

Democrats love their senators sitting in the capitol doing nothing

2020-01-19 04:55:34 UTC  

I'm going off polls. Warren's less popular than Bernie and will not get the nomination.

2020-01-19 04:55:37 UTC  

Also being out of the limelight protects them from some mudslinging.
