My bro lives in Visalia as a retired acedemic and active with Dem politics. Pretty much a blueberry in a crabapple orchard.

Not so much different than people in North Dakota being ruled by England.

Okay, make it Texas then.

Kernville!
I used to run the "powerhouse" section of the Kern 3-4 times a day in my inflatable. Then back to the campground for steaks and beers. Love that place.

Sanctuary cities will continue to load the electoral college system in the Repubs favor.

Not someone you like to have on your civic committee.

The Electoral college favors Republicans as it gives the rural states with smaller populations more electoral votes relative to their populations. .

For example, Wyoming, population 584,000, 3 electoral votes. That's one electoral vote per 195,000 people. (yes, I'm rounding these numbers).

California 38.8 million population, 55 electoral votes. That's one electoral vote per 705,000 people.

Unfortunately, in order to be able to understand this, one would need to be able to comprehend grocery store arithmetic at the 4th grade level, and that's well beyond your abilities ya frickin moron. .

No, see my post #26.

The highly populated urban areas are fucked by the electoral college.

That's why Trump was able to win the electoral college while losing the popular vote.

Doing what? Playing tennis, top down driving, reading, listening to music, being an audionerd, meals with friends ...

Pretty much always got a B in the creating a good/effective working environment rating category. We were trying to actually get things done though.

Living life as a 1930s matinee idol romantic comedy character. Effective escapism for hard times.
