I’m sick and tired of the talk about how the Democrats are “out of the mainstream” and how this is a mandate of the people. This is all divisive bullshit. If you look at the standard electoral map, you get this sense of overwhelming red with pockets of blue. The truth is that there are “red” and “blue” people everywhere. America is purple.
This map shows how we voted, county by county, instead of state by state.
Revealing, isn’t it?

Out of curiosity, where did this map come from?
That’s quite fascinating. That paired with the IQ relations to votes is interesting. Scary, but interesting.
