Also insane. Washington State has the second highest Human Development Index rating. On par with all the countries everyone freaks out about being so amazing...... and Seattle is what drives that. INSPITE of not being nearly as progressive as those "dream" countries.
Get it Katie!

I'm a realist. I know it would have only been the good states. I know the sh¡holes would still be sh¡tholes.
But there most definitely would be more than 15 states above the average Human Development Index average..... and there'd be more than 5 or 6 states on par with peer nation's best countries

NM is a fascinating outlier. They were one of only 2 states in the bottom 28 lowest states for life expectancy, wealth, education that voted Harris in 2024. While on the other hand, Maryland was above the United State's overall Human Development Index average
NM definitely need/deserve it for sure!

We are officially at the stage where STATISTICALLY republicans account for a vast majority of the worst states.... 26 out of 28 of the worst states voted for trump in 2024
ALL 16 above the United State's overall Human Development Index average voted Harris.
Now all they have left is "spirituality"

HDI uses education, wealth and life expectancy.

Washington DC is on par with the best countries in the world for health, wealth and life expectancy.
EVERY SINGLE STATE that sent troops to DC are at or near the bottom.

My opinion is that Washington has to create an environment in which people want to stay. Whereas California has the natural draw. So Washington is either consciously or subconsciously trying to win the "liveability" battle. Similar with Colorado and Minnesota.

Democrats have had a winning hand for 56 years.... but playing this hand forces the country to acknowledge its deep systemic problems.
The divide between Democrats and republicans is statistical.
15 top states for HDI voted Harris
26 of 28 worst voted trump
The racism and hatred are killing us...

I'm genuinely curious why we talk about "American cities" as a 'whole' when there's such a divide...... even in America. The 14 states, and DC, that are above the United States overall HDI average all voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. These states are in the ballpark of Denmark.

You can say life expectancy, wealth and education are culturally biased but even if you separate them from this particular scale the quantifiable trends still follow....

"Democrats have left these places behind"
"Democrats don't care about these places"
"Democrats(politicians) don't come here"
So, in the absence of Democrats, who exactly has been running the 26 states at the bottom of the statistics?
It's infuriating how republicans simply aren't held accountable

"America is divided"
HDI tells the story of the divide.
All 13 states above the United States average voted for Harris in 2024
19 of the bottom 20 and 25 of the bottom 27 voted trump
[Delaware and New Mexico being the outliers]
Divided by outcomes.

I use HDI(human development index) as a "catch all" for political issues and their outcomes. Hdi takes into account life expectancy(an outcome of 'health care').
Every single one of the top 13 states above the US average voted Harris in 2024.
19 of 20 lowest voted trump.
It's all VERY predictable
