the only reason republicans win is because you allow your land to vote. it's unbelievable.

I like to point out that cows don’t vote.

The land they're on does though.

I agree, but Earth's solarpunk phase doesn't start for another few millennia. We're still in the era where factory farms still exist.

They can vote from the farms. One pound of meat equals one hundredth of a vote.

Frankly both of these maps are deceptive (though the top one is albeit more so). The dot gets colored the primary color in that region, and visually makes the Democrats seem way more dominant when it's much more bipartisan. A gradient would make this map better

Yep, each area needs two dots, one red, one blue, sized proportional to their votes.

Florida will get quite a bit bluer, but California and the northeast will get much redder.

the jpeg makes a lot of the smaller dots look grey too

those are the people that control the food supply we need them on our side

Nah, most of it is owned by Bill Gates and a handful of conglomerates.

The people actually living there don't typically control or own much more than the serfs of Imperial Russia. Maybe that's why they love the shirtless guy who wants to be Tsar so much? 🤷

The majority of the produce for the United States is grown in the Central Valley in California.

Yeah I don't think how much of the Midwest and South is corn. Corn that we don't even need, that old ag bills that said "the government will buy it even if we don't need it"

I don't like sand.
