Just a throwaway idea for those who are all jazzed up about leaving the country...
Why not, instead of leaving the country, instigate a massive migration of Blue Voters from Red States to Purple Districts in Purple States?
Move to Wisconsin, move to New Mexico, move to Nevada, or Virginia, or Ohio, or Colorado.
Pick a state/district based on turnout numbers and "purpleness"...
If you're serious about moving, make your move count! Bring your energy, your money, your voice, and your vote to the places where it matters most.
Such a migration, if done in large numbers would:
- Increase the population, and hence the electoral college power of Blue and Purple States
- Swing those districts, counties, and states into the Blue
- Increase the economic clout of those districts
- Punish Red State neighbors by decreasing their economic and electoral clout
- Demonstrate the power of ideals and political convictions in ways that directly impacted elections, policies, and the political landscape.
Discuss!
I realize that a lot of the talk about migration is simply blowing off steam...but why not think about it strategically and tactically, rather than simply emotionally.
Think about what an extra couple thousand Blue Voters could do for the WA governor's race, or the NC downticket races, or Mongiardio's bid for Bunning's senate seat.
Find a locale, and move there.
