Not sure that you and I disagree here friendo. I was replying to this (which was dead by the time I arrived): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44992082

What I was speaking to was the ignorance of referring to the entire state as a singular voting bloc. A lot of liberals and leftists will happily cut each other down over something as simple as geography by wishing ill on an entire state with some kind of "you earned it" smugness. Not super productive.
