Wrong....I count several Republican districts in New York.

Sure. But they don't play a factor in the POTUS vote. 

Wouldn't it be cool if districts played a factor in POTUS voting instead of a Winner take all scenario. Like they do in Nebraska and Maine?

Who says Trump can't take Brooklyn? You?

New York isn't Democrat for life....

Nor is Texas Republican for Life. 

Heck South Carolina could potentially be Democrat in the forceable future. 

But not in this election. New York is a safe blue state.

I'm saying that Trump support in New York is completely wasted. 

Can't stop the Red Wave, Bud. 

You can I try though, I guess.

At the rally in Ohio there were these three nuns standing behind trump fumbling with their rosaries or applauding as he spoke. On the right we got a big kick out of that.

There are always "Blacks for Trump" or "Latinos for Trump" at those rallies too,

There was a poll showing 41% favorablility amongst blacks for trump now. They say he only needs to steal 10% of the black vote to win everything. Just an outlier poll, of course, but still...

No...clearly you do not understand what is on U.S. ballots in each state.

Do you really believe Trump has a shot at New York's EC votes? 

My point isn't to diminish the political views of people in the post. 

It's to highlight that when POTUS is considered, unless you're in a swing state, your POTUS vote is wasted.

No such thing as a safe state.

Losing just a few seats in New York to Republicans transfers direct to Congress...you do realize... 

I'm not talking about Congress. I'm talking about the insane Electoral College. 

If POTUS EC votes were linked to districts like in Maine and Nebraska, the race would be far more democratic.

If it equals a new Republican majority in Congress...not wasted at all.

Sure there are down ballot races that matter. 

But in all but two states, the POTUS vote is winner take all. 

Meaning getting 51% is the same as getting 95%.

The EC was not designed to be "democratic".

Scheer and the Conservatives got more votes in Canada too...so what ?

Congressional votes and POTUS votes are different. 

Sure there are Republican districts in Blue State as there are Dem Districts in Red States. 

Meaningless in POTUS elections.

Well then I accept your surrender in the statement that New York support for TRUMP, is completely irrelevant. 

I'm sure Dem voters in Arkansas feel the same.

Yes but at least Alberta voters are represented in the HoC.

I think you're overestimating the importance of winning New York and underestimating how an organization like "Jews for Trump" can sway an election. Jews are big donors.

But Antifa should keep attacking them and making them famous so you can see why making them famous is a mistake.

Biden is killing Trump in fundraising.

You still don't get it....Trump will drive voter turnout...providing more "democracy".

Who cares, in New York it's irrelevant. Those EC votes all go to Biden.

Not meaningless as every seat in Congress counts...as we've seen with the silly witch hunt. Majority in Congress? You can do all manner of stuff...President or not.

Perhaps the Republicans will take Congress and you'll see what I mean...in action.

But you are the one so concerned about precious " democracy", regardless of EC votes.

Why are you telling all those voters they don't matter ?
