That's.... Not how US elections work. Otherwise Hillary would've won 2016
Looking at the state results it doesn't appear that any state would've flipped blue if all third party voters excluding Robert Kennedy and Oliveros (libertarian) voters because they definitely would not have gone Harris went Harris. Even if you count the right wing 3rd party ones she only would've won 2 more states and still lost.
If we used the popular vote I definitely would've voted Harris, but as it is Trump was going to win my state by huge margins so I just voted who I really wanted knowing it made no difference. In races other than president I went Dem.
Puerto Rico? Miami? Texas? All hurricane prone areas with huge Spanish speaking populations. Parts of Miami like Hialeah have over 90% of households speaking Spanish.
This is a bilingual country. We have the second most Spanish speakers in the world only behind Mexico. Learn some Spanish it really won't fucking kill you.
Yeah Lincoln was WAY more pro-union than anti-slacery.
