    "President by land area" is a straw man. It's not how we elect presidents, it's not how conservatives argue we should elect presidents, & there's nothing wrong with illustrating elections with maps of the actual country we live in.https://twitter.com/Taniel/status/1167946313830293507 …

    Check out at what "president by land area" looks like when Alaska is at the right scale! This ridicules the 'land area" argument to such an extent it's remarkable it's still made. https://twitter.com/yfreemark/status/1167941774209212418 …

        It's a troll. but as long as the libs allow themselves to be triggered by it, it's a funny troll.

        Maps of the USA are as problematic as the flag of the USA, the anthem of the USA, the constitution of the USA, & the history of the USA.

        It's a response to a tweet with thousands of retweets that reads: "Getting rid of the electoral college also means creating a system where this map isn’t enough to elect a Republican." (With a map that has Alaska at the wrong scale.) Is that not close to that straw man?

        It's a completely unremarkable map of the United States of the sort used regularly in media, atlases, history books, etc. (Also, more Alaska=more red, so what does it matter to any point at issue?).

        It's actually "President by States". As in President of the "United States".

        Someone actually thinks "President by land area" is a thing. I know I'm old, and all, but do we still teach civics?
