    You do see California all blue, right? That’s 10% of the population of the US, just right there.

    California, New York, and Florida are in no way just land.

      1. Cali in this picture is quite distinctly pale and white in densely populated regions. Compare.

      2. The message of the map is quite clearly not “Cali is voting for Bernie, look at how overwhelming that is!”, but using the physical size of the country and Bernie’s support in low-density states to portray him as winning an overwhelming victory, when Bernie’s frontrunner status at this point was a fairly slim plurality.

        Yes, he was the front runner. The dems chose a losing fascist instead. There are your braindead ghouls.

          Yep. It would’ve been nice if more people who weren’t braindead ghouls chose to show up to the primaries and vote, but I guess they had more important things to do on that day, like jerking off.
