I'm ashamed that WA isn't higher. I don't know why we put up with the half of the state east of the mountains, they're just our cross to bear.

We all have our deplorable area. For California, it's the central valley and a lot of the northern part of the state.

As soon as I saw this, I thought that we need to see this broken down by sides of the state and see how evenly different regions were included, especially for Washington and Oregon.

[-] BitUnWise@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

For cultural stats like this Oregon and Washington should be split vertically instead of horizontally, would give a much more accurate indication of the region

Not even, it's like five counties in each state with 70% of the total population.

Why should we turn 100% of our farmland into Republican states?

It's a little weird to suppose I was serious, don't you think?

Former Oregonian here. Same about eastern Oregon.

Well aware. There are towns out there that gave me severe bad vibes. I was rolling through Chemult one time while camping. No place has ever given me such an urgent desire to quickly leave.

[-] basilisa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

I remember passing Chemult on my many train rides down to California. Beautiful landscapes. Sucks that it's full of horrible humans, though.

It feels like the start of a Hitchcock film

If it wasn't for Spokane you could give the whole eastern half to Idaho. (Except don't, don't give them more electors!)

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

No, it'd be great. Lump all those places into one state and let them see how they like having their individual voting power be diluted by the electoral college. Let all the places with cities who actually make the nation's money take a turn at the wheel.
