Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

The map below shows the states...
No, it very much does not!
This article is giving me 2016 "don't worry about it" vibes.
newsweek is garbage.
You aren't even allowed to wrap fish with it any more!

WTF is an anti-Donald Trump vote?
People who vote for Biden but resent having to.
Everyone who is forced to vote Biden because they don’t want Trump again would fall under that category. I believe it’s a substantial portion of the US population.
Everyone voting for Biden, wishing they had a younger, better candidate, but at least its not Donald Motherfucking Trump.

Why the fuck is the map made of hexagons?
It's actually a decent way of showing "land doesn't vote" when the states have equal representation (like US senate).
For electoral votes, you start with this but then make them larger per total count. Greatly corrects the "USA is 90% red!!!" that you get if you just color the states as-is.
"Worst map ever!"
I've never seen someone HTML tag their comment before.
people used to do it all the time, but as it was passed around it degraded now all you get is "/s"
It was fairly common ~15 years ago
Zoom in, and cannot even read the state abbreviations
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The former president increased his number of delegates to 995 on Tuesday, according to the latest update from the Associated Press, after 15 states and one territory voted in Republican primaries across the country.
With a candidate needing 1,215 delegates to secure the nomination, the votes were a resounding success for Trump, and reaffirmed expectations that he will run against the Democratic incumbent Joe Biden in November's presidential election.
But Haley, the former South Carolina governor who was Trump's remaining rival in the GOP primary race before she announced she was quitting, performed moderately well in a number of states, showing that Republican support for the former president is not unanimous.
Speaking on Fox News, former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove raised concerns about Republican Party unity.
"There's still some work to be done to unify the Republican Party and that's going to depend a lot on his tone tonight and whether or not he stops doing things like calling [Haley] 'Bird Brain' and threatening that if you give money to her campaign you're going to be permanently banned.
Scott Lucas, a professor in International Politics at University College Dublin, told Newsweek the Republican Party is very divided and Haley and her supporters may not switch their allegiance to Trump.
