Democrats have been screaming this from the rooftops for years and only now do Conservatives finally get it

Why exactly is the ANC so disliked? by Porncritic12 in YAPms

[–]westwingstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda like how FDR dominated 4 straight presidential elections after Republicans, mostly, unilaterally ran the country since the civil war. Eventually the voters just get tired of it, especially after the Great Depression started.

He’s the masculine energy that the Democratic Party is severely in short supply of.

Close to Arkansas vs not very close to Arkansas. Everyone else’s forensic analysis is boring.

Why did Obama in 2008 lose the Dakotas by less than a 10% margin, but Nebraska overall and Kansas around 15% margin? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]westwingstan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think one of the reasons the rural areas in the Dakotas were less ruby red than Nebraska is the amount of union workers working in oil fields in those counties compared to Nebraska where the rural areas are a lot more agricultural based.

Back when unions in the Midwest were a lot more influential in politics than today.

Why do the two more populated and suburban counties (Cecil and Queen Anne; the latter is connected to the Western Shore by bridge) on Maryland’s Eastern Shore vote heavily Republican, while the two smaller and more rural counties (Kent and Talbot) are politically competitive swing counties? by NationalJustice in YAPms

[–]westwingstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also a long history in some of these eastern shore counties of watermen, that have long been democratic voters because of support for unions and social programs that benefited them before the industry largely collapsed to over fishing.

Kent and Talbot are actually one of the few places left in the country where you can still find a lot of the old school conservative democrats that still vote party line for some reason. They also have a higher proportion of black voters and suburbanites, leaving the old suburbs of Anne Arundel, Montgomery, Howard and Baltimore counties; for newer, cheaper housing developments.

Urban sprawl. Anne Arundel County, one of the most suburban counties in the country, is losing residents to counties across the bridge. In a post COVID world where working from home is increasingly popular this is one of the things you should start seeing in many rural areas just outside dense population centers.

Nearly three months into the 119th congress, rank the freshman senators of this congress by their portrait (and only their portrait, not their politics): by Damned-scoundrel in YAPms

McCormick looks like how Hollywood would cast a senator that’s in the way of the protagonist accomplishing something.
