(I also love the unintentional implication that Alaska and Hawaii only exist for one map)

    Ackshually this only shows maps if 100% of the land area voted. Humans are much smaller than shown here.

      On the plus side, they didn’t invade Hawaii on behalf of United Fruit (now Chiquita) and apparently let Canada have Alaska.

      Swings and roundabouts, as the Brits say 🤷

    Crazy!

    Another crazy fact…

    Half of Americans make up 50% of the US population.

    I won’t tell you which half though! (JK it’s the top half)

    What’s really neat is, if everyone voted, the result would be the one on top.

    VOTE!! Volunteer to give rides to those that wouldn’t be able to make it without.

    Maybe I’m experiencing a “whoosh” here…but what’s the point? If only one side or the other votes of course it will look only one color or the other?

    What would the map look like if voting had a very low turnout? Likely all the states would be blue and only those who wasted their time to vote would give a fuck.

    Look, do not vote. The evidence from 2020 and 2022 shows that elections do not matter. If your based, you would not vote! Simple as that.

    By voting, you are engaging in the system. By not voting, your telling the system that its authority is meaningless. This whole “Get out to vote” to stop Trump is dumb. Trump should of won in 2020, but the election was rigged and its likely going to be rigged again in 2024 to keep orange man bad out.

      Wow, no.

      When people forget to vote or are disenfranchised or are too distracted or were tricked into really inane rationales, this is what “the system” thinks about you:

      Not voting does not tell the system their authority is meaningless. Not voting is just not voting.

      For over half Americans, voting for president is pointless, voting blue in a red state or red in a blue state doesn’t do anything in the winner take all states. But, voting for president means you’re also there to vote local, which by far more important and impactful on your day to day life

      Who the president is is largely inconsequential to your day to day life. The legislature is where you need to focus.

      Tbh I thought this was a meme because the message is for conservatives to not vote. But because you actually are conservative I’m confused now

      Of course, it may be that you want some perfect solution that fits your own biases rather than fitting the interests of the bulk electorate
