9. What is wrong with you people?
Do you realize we won 48% of the vote this election? That map means nothing.

In 3 of the last 4 elections, we've won more votes than the other side.

Sure, we can cry about the rural voters going heavily GOP, but why should we? You work with what you got, and we have plenty.

You don't see the GOP whining about losing Manhattan by 62 points? Or Los Angeles 40? Or San Francisco by 60? Or Chicago?

We are on the verge of having an electoral lock on the presidency. In the past 4 elections, Democrats have won, consistently, states that equal up to 252 electoral votes. Those states we won this past Tuesday are ours. We own them. If a war-time, incumbent Republican president who is using every fear tactic in the book, running against a largely liberal Democrat, can't pick them off, no one can.

The Republicans, without Florida and Ohio, have, what? 239 electoral votes?

We hold on to our current Blue states, and carry Ohio or Florida next time, we're heading for the White House:
