You've put your finger on the problem. A couple of states got bluer, because the blues from all the states which got redder moved there. Making it easier and easier for Republicans to win a plurality. If the blues had stayed and fought, then maybe it would've been a tighter race.

The idea that people should stay in places they don't like and/or don't feel safe in, just so they can maybe turn their red state blue, is crazy to me. The electoral college existing is the problem.

Yes it is. But acting like it isn't a factor and then complaining when all the Liberal Flight causes it to make it worse won't make it any better.

You're right about that. I guess I'm defensive there because I'm a transplant from a red state to a blue, haha. I'm sure Liberal Flight had a small factor on the election results but I don't think that's the only thing that happened here. I think Democrats decided they didn't like Kamala (fair enough) and just decided not to vote for local elections either. And not voting at all, that's a decision that has consequences. :\

Yup. It is about the same to me as people who think people who are afraid for their lives should stay in their home countries to try to change things and risk their lives in the process rather than seeking asylum.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Risking their lives, their family's lives. Not very many people are capable of being revolutionaries.

Yup. And so many of them have already been through trauma and have PTSD and other trauma-related medical issues. I just don't understand people who don't have even a single ounce of empathy.

da

I don't understand them either. I mean, I'm guessing some have their own issues and are just repeating the same cold bullshit that was said to them in a time of need (and they haven't figured out what a shitty thing that is to pay forward), or they are clueless as shit about someone else's situation.

The electoral college is a problem. But the thing that got me down this election is that for the first time in my life a republican got the majority of the actual votes.

yeah I've read several articles about how Gen Z is the first generation to be more conservative then their predecessors. :\ Shit's fucked.

I've warned millennials that they were being complacent about "the young" and that Zers and upcoming Alphas are just packed full of little wannabe Nazis and other intolerant and self righteous shitheads, but nobody was listening. The kids are not gonna be alright. Got Okay Boomered for it, but we're finding out now I guess.
