@BBFORTRUMP0822 @theAuntieAngie And those three counties happen to be the most populous in the state. Counting the counties doesn’t make sense, it’s a direct election: count people.

Here’s something to help you understand the Georgia Governor’s race and why Atlanta matters. Rural Georgia — 130 counties ≈ 4.5 million people Metro Atlanta — 29 counties ≈ 6 million people Don’t fool yourself into thinking you can win Georgia without Atlanta.

@LKNBlueDevil @kate_p45 lol maybe up in Kennesaw ya… come south of KSU and it looks different. But GA is a swing state, so you’ll find a lot of each in Atlanta.

Because of Brian Kemp, a deep RED state like Georgia had zero effective representation in the Senate since 2021. Just think about that.

I shouldn’t respond to you because you’re being rude while also being a hyper-triggered softie just because I said something online that you disagree with, but here’s the rebuttal: A) the Atlanta metro comprises roughly half the population of Georgia. Dekalb, Fulton, Clayton, Cobb, Gwinnett hold almost as many votes and nearly the rest is the state. The state was deep red in the 80s but has been moving slowly blue and in the last 10 years accelerated towards blue, due to growth of the Atlanta area. Lots of northerners and others moving to ATL. the state is now swing vs leans slightly red. B) you cannot apply outcomes in district level state elections to the state-wide electorate. The state has been in republican control for decades and they gerrymandered the fuck out of the local districts. Look at the map it shows it clearly. C) there is a large amount of ticket splitting in GA. Warnock-Abrams is a great example. D) In GA, the coalition is tight. Black voters break ~88-11 Democratic and white non-college voters break ~82-18 Republican. So both are essentially maxed out. The swing group is college-educated whites, who broke 57-43 Republican in 2024 This is a swing state, it hasn’t been deep red for at least 10 years, and will likely remain a swing state for another 10 years. However: the rural towns in GA are dying. Go visit Albany. Average age in the rural population is rising, and the total rural population is declining. Atlanta is leading the population growth in the state, and that will ultimately swing the electorate…

@LKNBlueDevil @kate_p45 Check Atlanta metro not “city of Atlanta” which is a relatively small and constrained part of the city. Like saying population of manhattan and ignoring the other boroughs

I really blame the American educational system for failing you here. I really believe that if you try hard, you can understand this: People travel. They go all over. Whether visiting or moving. The world is interconnected with planes that can take you across the world quickly and relatively affordable. When people travel, they can spread their diseases and they can catch other diseases and bring them home. It’s how infectious diseases work, they transmit. A health policy that ignores reservoirs and assumes no one from a given country will contact/infect any outsiders is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

You assume it’s entirely spread by (homosexual) anal intercourse. But play out this scenario: Guy with HIV visits France. Gets a tattoo. Parlor doesn’t clean needles well. Random American tourist goes to get a tattoo and gets inoculated with HIV. Goes back to America, 3 years later has high viral load, has unprotected intercourse with three different women. 2/3 of them get inoculated with HIV. One of those women is a tourist from England, goes back to England and gives it to her someone there 2 years later. You see how that works? People travel. and they bring their diseases with them. When HIV was a novel pathogen, it went undetected in the population in America for some time, and it contaminated the blood bank supply. Quite a number of people got it from blood transfusions. Now that’s less of an issue, but this is how the world is interconnected when it comes to infectious diseases. Miss me with that anti globalism bullshit. This isn’t about trade or manufacturing. Fucking dumb trolls.
