Cali will definitely be blue, if only because "rah evil trump! Must vote womyn!". Not everyone of course, but Cali is kinda... Blue.

Also: New Jersey. When you realize your vote may not have even mattered for your state.

Clinton is not a popular person, nor is Trump.

But in the liberal stronghold of Oregon, Clinton only won one county in Oregon by one vote during the Oregon Democratic Primaries. (The DNC stole the candidacy from Sanders)

Now early voting from Oregon is showing Clinton is ahead, but not by the huge margin Democrats were expecting.  This is kind of shocking to see her lead not being huge.  I wonder if this indicative of other West Coast states like Washington and Cali?

That is interesting.  If you look at those states, minus California... if you look at Oregon and Washington, the only places that vote Democrat are the heavy population centers.  So Seattle or Portland.  But outside of those cities, those states are all red.  It is unfair for everyone else, and this is common in many states.

California is blue in Northern California, San Fran/Oakland/Berkley/Sacramento/Los Angeles.  Pretty much all the big cities.  Outside of the cities, California is red.

Don't expect a red win in New Jersey, Leap.  Ain't going to happen.

Pennsylvania is shocking that it might actually be a Republican win.  While Trump still has momentum, he certainly took a blow by the FBI now pursuing Clinton's emails any further.  This could be the death blow to Trump and allow for a Hillary victory.

*cries* I've been living a blue lie my whole life.

My friend says that's how it is in NY. He says most of the mayors and shit outside of NYC are republican. It's just the city and Long Island that's democrat.

If you vote in person, make sure your vote is counted.  Get a paper ballot or whatever.  Press them, even if they say they don't have them.  They are required by law to have paper ballots. 

There are reports from the east coast and south of police arrested people involved in election fraud.  Remember, most police officers are conservative... so they will understand if you see voter fraud. 

[Death Blossom]

But aren't paper ones more likely to be "lost"?

That is how it is.  Cities are liberal strong holds.... and yet... how many cities can you say are actually good places?  They are run by liberals and yet so many of them in the east, south, and midwest are hell holes. 

West Coast is different... but.... yeah. 

[Darrin]

You watch the person record your vote, and ask to see what they did to make sure it is 100% correct.  You have the right. 

[Death Blossom]

Isn't it fascinating how the liberals don't notice? And West cities are kinda hell holes as well. Just. Not as bad.

Ahhh. Interesting.
I'll keep that in mind for next time, Darrin.

I am willing to say that the majority of people on this forum live in blue states.  I know we have a lot of blue members here too, but they just aren't the ones who talk in the politics topic for some reason. 

[Grapefoot]

West Coast cities are different.  They haven't been around hundreds of years.  Most west coast cities are actually very nice, new, clean, very pretty.  But the most convoluted is Oakland and parts of Los Angeles.  LA is one of the few west coast cities with actual slums like the east coast, but just not in massive projects.  They are single family homes in LA's south side.  Oakland too, on a smaller scale. 

[Darrin]

Every city for the most part has a "down trodden" area, or places that aren't as nice.  But overall, liberalism in west coast cities haven't destroyed them visually, but socially, or in others ways, they are breaking down.  High taxes, etc. 

[Death Blossom]

Not to be mean, but I find when blues don't argue it's cuz they feel they know they're right and know they won't convince us "savages". In my experience. That or they're really loud. Or they just don't like to argue. Can go either way.

But interesting why they don't mention anything. The topic at first was very open and didn't exactly lean one way or another.

[Death Blossom]

Eh, societal destruction due to extreme liberist ideas is almost as bad in my opinion. But yeah, West cities do tend to be prettier and stuff.
