You can gerrymander Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Montana into purple states. There’s actually enough votes to give the majority of Indiana’s congressional seats to Democrats

So I hear we're starting a gerrymandering war
Three permanently Democratic districts, three permanently Republican districts, and eight districts which lean Democratic by 5-10 points

On Roots
When you discuss your roots as if you know the dead, heroic, brave. You're telling stories of a stiff. You're dreaming only of a grave.
There's such a thing as heritage but its a slender, brittle thread. It takes not only parentage but children, purposefully led and when those tender ties have snapped greatgrandpa's just another joe. The path upstream cannot be mapped with blood, syringes, TV shows.
Americans want to believe kala pani can be recrossed. It's harder to go back than leave and what is lost is what is lost.

This is such a creepy little piece of marketing. I wish more horror movie trailers left you without a name for the movie

(diff anon) that original post specifically asked about importance on the axis of "vibes based cultural impact" where I'd argue nashville and new orleans are heavier hitters than like. phoenix. but fair to make your own poll that asks a different q as well
I'm purposefully leaving "most important" undefined so that people can fill in their own meaning, but it seems obvious to me that having a large population would be a component of that (thus why I chose many of those cities)

cant believe you didnt put nashville on that poll man. cmonnn
You're asking me why I didn't include the country's 35th largest MSA population center on a poll for our 4th most important city?
#I didn't include my hometown either#Charlotte's obviously top 50 but obviously not top 4; same with Nashville

It seems obvious that three of the Big 4 cities in the US are New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago; but there is some real competition for #4.
Who is in 4th on your list? Read all of the cities on the list before making your choice
