    This year, heavily white Wyoming will cast three electoral votes, or about one per every hundred and ninety thousand residents; diverse California will cast fifty-five votes, or one per seven hundred and fifteen thousand people.

    Why doesn't the New Yorker make the same statement about heavily White Vermont?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I'm not sure why, but conservatives with white skin really rub me the wrong way. I'm not saying they're bad people, I'm just saying they're probably not good people.

        Education is extremely important.

          Would Candace Owens rub you the right way?
