But that would shift the election in favour of the Democrats...
Yes - if the GOP can't survive more proportional representation, they shouldn't.
Potentially. Puerto Rico is also a religious state.
Religious doesn't MEAN republican, just so happens to be one of the things that usually indicates a Republican.
I know plenty of smart religious people who are democrats. Most of the draw for the US is Christian nationalism (aka white supremacy) that I think won't work on most in PR.
There is nothing christian about republican policies. Most Black folks are christian and vote dem in overwhelming numbers.
You say white supremacy like a bunch of latino men don't vote republican.
Lol no. There are no absolutes when humans are involved.
Most latinos are religious, or from religious areas, and, I would wager, most are pretty conservative in a lot of ways. However they, as a majority, go for the democratic party.
If it wasn't for gerrymandering and voter suspension they would've been extinct a while back. We might've even had something other than a 2 party system and ranked choice voting. People would be surprised by what could be if we didn't have a greedy minority in a big ass coat pretending we want to see them make all the money while they keep squeezing us for our pennies.
But hey, I should be thankful for my 30k a yr and paying for insurance that'll tell you to forget about surgery just slap a bandaid on it
Don't forget the electoral college...
Broken-ass excuse for a democracy that'll be shattered if Trump wins.
