you're joking, but this is true. in the pre-Civil War years, northern Republican anti-slavery organizations would pay people to move to the new western states like Kansas to stop them from becoming slave states. and tons of people actually went because they believed in something.
but who the fuck is going to move to North Dakota to help Joe Biden's electoral chances? there's no one running on any issue worth fighting for. no one gives a shit about this country.
Look the person in one of the Dakotas who doesn't think climate change is real because he slid into a ditch when he tried to drive drunk last week because there was an icy spot, their vote counts for several times as much as any climate scientist with a degree who lives in a blue state.
If you think there's something wrong with this you just don't understand how politics works.
Just wanna say how wild it is that in 2000 bush lost the popular vote by 0.5% and won the electoral college by 5, a small enough margin that I remember people at the time saying that it was extremely unlikely and would probably never happen again, and then in 2016 Trump lost the popular vote by 2% and won the electoral college by 77, an absolutely huge amount.
So about those times the popular vote winner actually lost the election?
The original premise(the lib meme?) is dumb to begin with.
If you haven't already moved to Wisconsin to vote in 2024 you don't really care about the state of American democracy

Bit idea: get the DNC to pay for the living expenses of enough people to move to and flip important states.
that would unironically be infinitely more effective than the billions they spend on pointless ads. they could flip entire states.
You simply cannot fathom the magnificent wisdom and vision of the Founding Fathers
