I read Daily Kos...daily. I rarely post but I wanted to suggest that we all stop using those misleading Red State vs Blue State maps and move to a more nuanced view like the one above. We are simply perpetuating the myth that the county is mostly red with a few coastal blue states thrown in. I think those types of maps just divide us more. Yes the “states” map shows the result because of the electoral college, but they don’t show the reality on the ground like population based maps do. Let’s stop fueling this misrepresentation and start supporting our blue friends who happen to live in a red state!
Update: (here’s a link to more options for maps)
