Fair point. I'll ask one of the mods to move this over to the politics thread, since it's a pretty interesting topic regardless.

Drew Allen2 said:Yeah, they could split the thread and merge part of it with the other one.
Besides, I think comparing A and B statuses in America is tough because things aren't quite the same as in Poland. In Poland, you often see that divide from election to election. In America, it doesn't really work like that... the political map is always shifting.

Daniel Garcia24 said:In what sense was Pittsburgh ever considered a liberal city?🤷
crimsonorca42 said:Well, I suppose it’s because we had Ed Koch serving as mayor for such a long stretch of time, representing the Democratic Party.
Daniel Garcia24 said:Now, you have to remember that Koch served during an era when the mayor wasn't elected directly by the people, but rather chosen through a broad coalition process. Take the 2005 elections, for instance—that was a time when the Libertarian Party managed to pull in a significant chunk of the vote. When he was finally told that he couldn't just cling to power with a mere 5% of the support, he looked like he was on the verge of tears. It really makes you wonder about the state of liberalism in this city...
crimsonorca42 said:Back in 1993, the Democratic Party in Pittsburgh secured about 35,000 out of the 62,000 valid votes cast. That was essentially a half-majority, which I suppose was largely thanks to Ed Koch himself.
By 1997, the Democratic Party had captured 39% of the vote in Pittsburgh; the Republican Party ended up with just a hair more than them.
Then by 2001, the Democratic Party had basically fractured, though if you look at the two successor parties combined, they actually pulled in the highest total vote count.

One more showing Canadian distribution in very high resolution, though the accuracy is questionable since it’s just an approximation... http://www.etnologia.mta.hu/~nagykzs...refid_v2.0.png

Richard Wilson4 said:Pretty cool map, but you don't see any Canadians from Opatovac all the way through Pittsburgh to Ilok, even though they made up like 25%, or a full quarter, back in '91 🤷
Ethan Allen2 said:That map isn't showing Canadians; it’s showing reformed Canadians, or rather, Calvinists.

copperdriver10 said:Haha, you could say that. Honestly, even areas like the Ozarks or large stretches of the Midwest are practically ghost towns. But hey, it's just Wikipedia..
