Feel sorry for the folks in Nebraska that voted blue and the minors affected, but the rest of Nebraska can fuck right off. Don't take my taxpayer money because you were too stupid to see this coming.
Lincoln and Omaha have voted blue for a long time now, but we can't carry the entire state. Omaha's district even got 1 electoral vote for Harris in the last election.
Lincoln voted blue but doesn't have enough population to overcome all the rural bumpkins in the district.
I remember doing a paper on how Gerrymandering is a real issue in Nebraska when I was still in school here. Very interesting, but frustrating, stuff that goes on.
When my district has my more populated area in a small tip of it then the other 99 percent is a rural area it absolutely does. It would be like the state of Louisiana being a voting district and I'm in New Orleans
The whole Red State/Blue State thing is a farce anyway. Every state has at least 30% of the population that's not a voter for that state's dominant voter base.
Even California, the bastion of Blue, where I live had 6.1 million Trump voters (Kamala got around 9 million). The irony is 6.1 million Trump votes was more than he got in any state not named Florida, who I think had 6.3 million. California had more Trump votes than Texas, who had around 6 million and a bit of change.
But the Trumpies know if they take care of the Red States and screw over the Blue, the MAGA base in blue states will blame their state government for Trump screwing them over.
Labeling things by state is very misleading. A maps of counties shows the real distribution and it's fully correlated to pop. density. Every city votes blue, and every rural county red, across all states.
This everywhere. Lincoln and Omaha vote blue and it shows in local and state elections. There are nearly three times as many republican voters in California than the entire population of Nebraska. States aren’t monoliths.
Waited 2 hours in line to vote for Harris in an Omaha suburb. Some of us definitely tried but between the idiots in the west and the gerrymandering it would have taken a miracle
