but it does
Trump only got 36% of the vote in MA but that 36% Counted towards the popular vote, MA added 1.233 million votes to Trump helping him get the 6 million vote lead in popular vote. That is 20% of the 6 million vote lead in the popular vote helping take away a major talking point from the communists. Trump only got 40% of the vote in CA, but that was 4.023 million votes toward the popular vote or 66% of the 6 million popular vote margin. Trump got 44% of the vote in NY. 3.434 million votes contributing 57% of the 6 million margin of trump votes in the popular vote. The Trump voters in NY and CA gave Trump 7,45 million votes and gave him the win in the popular vote denying the communist narrative of needing to get rid of the EC So while Trump voters in blue states did not get Trump elected president, those votes still contributed significantly to the defeat of a major communist talking point and solidified the mandate for Trump |

This is why it’s important for people in blue states to vote. I know a ton of people who don’t vote because they live in a blue state and they feel like their vote doesn’t matter.

I've been a NH resident for decades and I assume people in general vote a straight ticket D or R, but in NH despite the presidential outcome being Democrat, we often seem to elect Republican local Governors, etc... in the same election.
Kelly Ayotte getting in as the NH Governor is much more insulation against a state AWB so I'll take that, but it's interesting we get enough people voting for a Dem president who cross to the other side and vote in Republican state legislators. |

MN stayed blue like it has since the 70's, but my county and the one next door flipped red for the first time in my memory.

Don’t just concede the ground, counter-attack. If a blue state becomes close they have to waste resources holding it. That’s money, people, time, and effort that gets expended just to hold what was in the bag for them. That means those resources don’t go to a state that is close enough for us to pick it up. |

It's really more than a simple "talking point." The Dems have been intent on doing away with the electoral college, and electing the president based on popular vote. There have been some states who wanted to make their electoral votes go to whoever the national popular vote winner was, regardless of how the people in their state voted. Both of these ideas "make sense" to low-information voters who are too stupid to realize why those ideas are actually horrible.
Trump winning the popular vote will hopefully put these issues to bed, because the people that usually win the popular vote didn't win it this time. CA and CO voters - even the "low information" ones, now realize that if they had the "electoral votes go to popular vote winner" system, their electoral votes would have gone to Trump. |

And Trump increased his margins in all of those states. It should (but it won't) shut up his detractors. Watch now as the Liberal leftist and their media and Hollywood elite friends impune the whole country with every "ist" and "phobe" in the books for supporting him. |

OP brings a good point. However, the part of putting this topic to bed, I doubt. We are dealing with deranged mental-disease-level critters that are obsessed with their own agendas and whatever their twisted semi-formed below-15 IQ little brains follow from their masters. If you live behind enemy lines, like many of us do, you would be perplexed and question whether they are even humans. Here in WA, where votes are by mail and disappear into some dungeon to be "counted", I even doubt whether the votes against the puppets and agendas are even fully counted. They probably only count a few of them and convert the others to their puppets. Nevertheless, it's good to think that my vote might have helped to get the popular vote top position. |

To me that’s the only reason the popular vote is relevant at all. I’m still thankful we’re a republic, and not a democracy. IMO most of the arguments currently being made regarding the popular vote and a mandate are lending credence to the incorrect leftist talking points regarding both the popular vote and the electoral college. |

This corner of VT is decently red. "Election results on Tuesday, which saw Republican gains statewide, overwhelmingly went Republican in the Northeast Kingdom, where only two of 19 legislative seats will be occupied by Democrats. Two years ago, Democratic gains pushed the mostly red Kingdom to the color purple, but on Tuesday, those additions were subtracted, and the Republican party gained even more ground. Between the 16 House seats and three Senate seats available in the Northeast Kingdom, Democrats held nine legislative spots after the 2022 election, but that number dwindled to two on Tuesday."

OP makes a very good point about the popular vote: I believe if Trump had won the EC but lost the popular vote the Democrats would be planning all sorts of mischief right now. This was a real concern for me before the election.
Their talking points would be that Trump was "illegitimate" and the electors would need to change their votes in order to "preserve democracy". There would be protests and a serious effort in Congress to not certify the election. All of this would be followed by riots to give the impression that the "silent majority" of Americans did not want him in office and was rising up to prevent a new Hitler from taking power. All of those possibilities have been neutralized by Trump's victory margin. |
