Yes I saw that also.Made no sense to me.

Two counties in GA voted over 70% for Hillary.Not one in TN did or came close.Neither of them was even Fulton County where 90% of Atlanta resides. Unlike Davidson County consolidated with Nashville at only 59% Hillary. Even Memphis just had around 61%.
How a state that is in the South and more than 60% white can EVER lead in progressiveness in the South is the biggest joke,
Florida i joke becaus FL has done somethings in the last decade to make it the center of jokes but I can understand the logic behind people voting for it.
In fact,NC<GA<FL all have strong cases to be made as their are plenty of factors and facts that bolster in favor of them

Well over 62% of the state of TN voted for Trump
GA it was 50.4%

Macon voted for Hilllary as it did for Obama.
Augusta and its suburbs mostly voted for Hillary.Augusta-Richmond Co had a much larger win percentage for Hillary at 64% than Nashville Davidson at 59% and that was only Nashville -Davidson and none of its suburbs.
There are about 3 counties in GA that were no where near a 2nd tier city that all went for Hillary.Thats just not the case for TN.


"I think your Starting to Warm on me!!" Guess we will see how progressive Georgia really is come November huh!!! I suggest you keep your fingers crossed

TN cities are bigger, and I get all the advantages that come with that, but I still dont see how they are incredibly more progressive enough to the point to say TN as a whole is more progressive than Non-Atlanta Georgia.

This doesnt look very progressive compared to GA IMO, even excluding Atlanta.


Knoxville isn't blue?

Let's hope none of these states become more progressive than they already are. Progressive liberal governments ruin states, just look at California. It used to be such a nice state with a competitive political environment, now liberals have ruined the state. Also, if Texas does become blue than USA will be a lost cause.

Liberals are amazing people it is far leftists that demonize entire groups of people and pit ethnic groups against each other that I take issue with.
