75% of all US GDP is produced in Blue Counties that voted for Harris. Production happens when liberals work, nothing happens when conservatives collect the majority of welfare in red states.
Don't you need to have a job first?
Democrats come up with some great ideas, don't they?!?
"Don't go to work"
That will show them.

Can you prove that? I live in a blue county but I am not a Harris voter.
I cant. But the Brookings Institute can.Can you prove that? I live in a blue county but I am not a Harris voter.

OK but again I live in a blue county. I am Not a Democrat. So how does Brookings account for that?I cant. But the Brookings Institute can.
Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America's economy. What does this mean for the nation's political-economic divide? | Brookings
This economic rift that persists in dividing the nation is a problem because it underscores the near-certainty of both continued clashes between the political parties and continued alienation and misunderstandings.
It’s an easy study to read and I stated it clearly, although I was off 4% from memory.
You didn’t answer my question. How did it account for me? Since you read it, summarize it for me.
Let me dumb it down for you:

You typed a whole lot that simply acknowledged that blue counties and blue states drive nearly all the GDP in the nation. I am glad we agree even if you have a lot of ridiculous excuses for it.Let me dumb it down for you:
It doesn’t mean 71% of U.S. GDP comes from Democratic voters or that Democrats create most economic output — it simply reflects that the most economically productive counties (big cities and metro areas) tended to vote Democratic in that election.
It isn’t a measure of economic policy effectiveness — many other economic, geographic, and demographic factors influence where GDP is generated.
Large metropolitan counties with high economic output (financial centers, tech hubs, major service economies) overwhelmingly voted blue in 2020. Smaller, rural counties with relatively lower GDP tended to vote Republican. That leads to a big gap between number of counties and share of economic output.
Newer analyses using 2024 election results suggest that figure would be lower (around ~62%) because some populous, high-GDP counties shifted in 2024.
Newsom mostly accurate on California vs. Texas comparison
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state’s taxpayers give the federal government more than they receive in federal spending, while the situation in Texas is the opposite. Nonpartisan data backs him up.
You obviously didn’t read what I typed. It’s like saying the Patriots won their championships because the team was mostly black players. But the best players were white and without them they don’t win.
