In the United States , the liberal areas make the money that support conservative ones . This election was won BECAUSE of unemployed or underemployed workers in rural areas . So your idea , while unfair , would give us liberals a huge advantage . Our votes would be worth significantly more . So yeah , if you want to play that way , we ' ll just let Silicon Valley pick the next President and say fuck the Rust Belt . <| sep |> Can anyone else confirm this ? That would be sweet . <| sep |> You have a LOT of people here exactly like you . I have never met you but I am willing to bet we have a lot in common . Your recovery is not just personal it helps all of us here including me . If you start feeling squirrelly just come back to this sub and there will be friends here . Happy thanksgiving a
