beg to differ. I’ve seen the vote by county maps and in Kali, all the larger cities go to Democrats. You can see it all across the county.
Every major population center is blue. Cities control the election of the president, not the burbs or the county
16% of Americans live in rural areas.
The population of the top five cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia) is only 6% of the population of the United States and the population of the top 50 cities (going as far down as Arlington, TX) is only 15% of the population of the United States.
Suburbs and exurbs often vote Republican.
