How States Voted In Every Presidential Election, From George Washington To Donald Trump
"The edges are blue, the middle is red, and everyone is mad at Florida."
Basically yeah that's every election
Florida basically flips a coin every election to see who they're gonna vote for unless like every other state wants to vote for someone
@Diana Laura no no no you misunderstood it doesn't matter what policies are we just flip a coin and go with it
Everyone's always mad at Florida. Screw the politics.
Florida man got it real bad, honestly. :(
LOL
Minnesota is pretty consistent blue lol and it's dead center
“The edges are blue, the Middle is red, and everyone is mad at Florida”
Truer words have never been spoken
1=1
Alaska never changed
I live in Florida and i am very mad at it because my county screwed us over
I live in florida and I'm still mad lmao, at least joe biden still won
Dylan Bodiford ikr I’m canadian but I’m sick of our news covering nothing but trump. I saw a meme that summed it up perfectly. Like I would’ve caged all the Canada geese and let them loose on you guys. Like a Vietnam style carpet bombing to get you all in line.
So crazy to see maps where almost the entire country voted one way That’s nothing I’ve experienced in my lifetime.
Hopefully we never do again. Notice how they were always in or around times of war
@@tyeklund7221 times in war is the only time the states are United sadly
@@Steve-zc9ht Unless it's a civil war.
@@tyeklund7221 Yeah but it would be nice for it to happen again with out a war
Back when people voted due to policies and not because his party has a color that I like
Most awkward thing is seeing Texas blue and California and New York Red for major part of the history.
The media swapped the colors in 1984, because of the phrase " better dead than red", which was a reference to living under communism. The Democrat color was red. The Democratic Party was also the more leftist party. So, they made red the republican color.
@@davidnichols6971 these maps represent both parties with the same colours that were used to, although you're correct about the historical flip flopping of party colours
They flipped the colors because of the phrase. There was NO OTHER REASON to flip the colors. That's a FACT. I'M NOT 10 YEARS OLD. I WAS HERE, AND VOTING.
@@davidnichols6971 read my comment again, slowly
I've read it 5 times. You're not telling me anything I don't already know.
The way I sat through this entire video without my history teacher forcing me-
But you chose when you could watch. Most likely meaning that you wanted to watch it on your own time, not when your history teacher told you.
You're gonna need to know history to make informed decisions in almost every aspect of your life. Make sure to pay attention.
LMAOOOO
Yes, because this video is probably a 100 time more dynamic than your teacher and your history book. And, imho, because it involves storytelling. I did this experiment once when I was in high school. A few months before our final exams, our teacher decided we'd do presentations in twos instead of writing any more tests so we can focus on preparing to the exams more. The topic my friend and I chose was the military actions of our underground army against the occupant (Germany) during WWII. We decided to take on less actions but to deeper about them. So the way I presented the one I chose was I would outline the preparation process and the original plan, including a map of our city (where that action took place), then the action itself in details and how it ended and its consequences. I also made sure to use the participants' codenames and to not spoil events ahead. I included old photographs and documents in my presentation as well.
I swear I haven't seen our class as quiet and focused during a history lesson that wouldn't be a test for a long time, if at all. Everyone was so invested because it was a fascinating, emotional story unfolding before them and not knowing the outcome (like "so they killed the SS officer but 3 of them died and hundreds of random innocent civilians were shot in blind nazi revenge) made them listen in silence because they didn't want to miss anything. Gotta admit, visiting the newly opened museum of Warsaw Uprising (my high school was in Warsaw, which is the capital city of Poland, in central Europe) was quite inspirational. The museum settles for lots of multimedia, old videos and documents, objects, maps, photographs and drawings and a lot more.
Tldr make the teaching appealing to students by utilizing modern media, storytelling and connecting dots in front of them (I swear the only two periods I'm somewhat interested in are WWII in Poland and Renaissance in Italy because I am equipped with enough data to connect facts, events and characters) and they'll wanna learn more even in their free time.
Lmao sameeee 💀
Imagine only having 2 parties so that you have to choose the lesser evil.
No need to imagine. That's exactly what happened in 2016.
d
That is why people want Biden, to be an anti-trump alternative. If there were more majoritarian parties. Nobody would vote for Joe
You need to have two parties, it's how politics works, and theres a reason. Imagine an election with three (major) candidates. Party A gets 40% of the votes, and Party B and C each get 30% of the votes. Who wins? Party had the largest amount of voters, but 60% of the voters preferred a different candidate, and voted against the winner.
The way politics works in modern day democracies isn't actually the best/most efficient way, that is technically ranked lists with 5+ candidates, where you rank them, but that system is far more complicated and by now, would be far too difficult to implement, as people are just used to the current system.
Edit: I'd like to explain myself further, since about 40 people replied to this. Firstly, I think it's extremely unlikely that any different (aka better) form of voting is implemented in the United States, at least in the next 50 years, because whichever side pushes for it, it will be hated by the other. Other countries have a much better system, like Germany, Brazil, Australia, etc and they all work slightly differently, but are better because the people don't vote on negative cohesion. (This is when people vote for a person even though they dislike them because they dislike them less than the alternative). If anyone reading this is interested in discovering the better forms of voting, scroll down these comments or I highly recommend the videos of CGPGrey, he uses the example of an "Animal Kingdom" and explains the different forms and their advantages/disadvantages, such as ranked/preferential voting, coalitions between parties, etc.
@@asteractor2348 In Australia we have preferential voting, this helps resolve the problem that you discussed. You just need to educate Americans on how it works.

365 is a landslide post 2000

“The last time a winning candidate loses Ohio.”
Yeah, about that...
At least we know that we don’t really need Ohio and Florida to win the election.
@William G hm
@William G also, North Carolina is slowly drifting towards the Democrats. While 2008 was an outlier, due to the worst economic crisis for decades, the state has been edging ever closer these last 12 years. 2012 and 2016 had the Republicans win, 2020 was pretty close. The Dems are retaking the south, with a new coalition of suburban and urban voters, as well as the majority of the minority vote. And I do believe that once Texas goes blue, the Republicans won't stand much of a chance.
Not only that, he also lost Iowa, NC, Florida, and Vigo county in Indiana, which are all traditionally bellwethers
@William G The fact that Texas went blue at all, at any point in time seems like an indicator that the country’s political geography is changing. The country is starting to lean democrat in a time where things are more turbulent.
“The most divided it’s ever been”
1860-64:
“Am I a joke to you?”
No. America is WAY more divided than it was back then. Why? The simple fact that there's far more divisive topics for America to be divided over! Back then it was just slavery. Off the top of my head I can think of the division between homosexuals and heterosexuals, men-hating feminists and women-hating MGTOWs, those who believe in binary genders and those who believe in the ever increasing gender spectrum, the 1619 group vs the 1776 group, the pro-life group and the pro-choice group, "vaxxers" and "anti-vaxxers", those who support CRT and those who want it gone, religious evangelicals and atheists. If I tried, I could come up with another list that long. Yes, the mid 1860's ARE a joke compared to what America has socially devolved into.
@@angelus_solus this is true. I just hope we don’t go to civil war
@@angelus_solus I like how your comment states what were divided over while remaining neutral without extra adjectives and commentary.
@@juanfelipe8484 Civil war has already started...it's just with words right now.
@@Hybred I presented it that way because I do my best to remain politically neutral. I support no political party and do what I can to not support any side of the issues that divide our society, because it's none of my business. Sadly though, it will come to a point that those who refuse to take a side will be hated by both sides equally and be branded as traitors or cowards...just like how Jehovah's Witnesses were viewed during the first and second great war in their respective countries. It is unavoidable.
You said Washington was a federalist. He was in ideology but he would have hated you to call him one because he was against Parties. I’ve never seen one of these that didn’t list him as an independent.
If a kid told you they were a kangaroo would you label them as a kangaroo?
@@HenryMcCraken4 if George Washington told you he was an independent would you label him as an independent?
@@LRJS1794 No. It's as if Trump called himself a Democrat. His actions beg to differ.
@@LRJS1794 With all due respect I think the point that my fellow commenters are making is that whilst Washington was certainly not registered to a party its intellectually a bit dishonest to act as though his independent party status reflected in his practiced politics. Washington was very much a Federalist in his practice primarily acting on the advisement of people like Federalist Alexander Hamilton and often finding himself in sometimes heated disagreement with Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. It is true to be sure that Washington would not define himself as a Federalist due to his hatred of political parties but ultimately I'd argue his actions as president speak louder than words or party registry (or....lack thereof I suppose.)
@@AdwinLauYuTan funny thing is that he is a Democrat. He’s been a democrat his whole life, so some research on him. He’s hardly a republican 🤣

@@BlipTheBloop

@@BlipTheBloop where’s the misinformation though, all I’m seeing is facts lol
George Washington wasn’t a federalist. He strongly advised against political parties and that’s why he’s been our only independent president.
I mean you're correct technically, but practically speaking he sided with the Federalists most of the time. Sort of like how Bernie is an independent but like. also practically a Democrat.
Don't forget about John Tyler. The Whigs kicked him out of the party in 1841 and he ended his term as an independent. Of course, he wasn't an independent for the same reason but still counts.
Bernie isn’t independent. He is so far left he can’t even identify as a Democrat.

Well, true but it is still polarized as all hell
maybe they mean civil war levels.
Despite what some people say I doubt that civil war could happen now without making one side feel like their being deprived of their basic human rights.
I mean they're not wrong, because the south seceded from the Union, no longer being American states, and the end of the civil war is what brought the south back.
I don’t think we’re that polarized. I think we can all agree that we dislike both candidates to a certain extent...excluding the louder diehard fans of Trump. Besides, this election showed that we agree more than we disagree, especially on controversial policies such as the legalization of marijuana. Some Republican states like Montana and South Dakota legalized marijuana.
I love how the closer this video gets to the end the more controversial and stretched the portrayals get.
I’m a little annoyed about how they showed what states gave women the right to vote. It’s very biased based on what states in their current political standing would have done; instead of what actually happened. The first ten states to give women the right to vote, in order, are Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho,
Washington, California, Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, and Montana. In fact some western mid-western - and mid northern states granted them the right before they were even states. So to only show Washington Oregon and California as if only they did it before the national mandate is not factual and biased.
There are multiple historical things that are either wrong or misleading in this video.. one of them that I think more people caught that they gave Washington to a party when he never really was in any- and was in fact against parties.
I was going to say the same thing, as well as another point already made in that there are a number of inaccuracies with this video

So yeah, if you got that, popular vote is more democratic, but if your system is as fucked as the American, sure, the electoral system is logical
I don’t think so, if we abolish the electoral college Texas and California are dictating the elections. It gives every state a voice to vote.
@@N0vaArrowww yeah that makes sense from an American point of view.
But I'm from Europe and we simply count the amount of votes from every person. Ignoring the "states" (which we kinda have too).
That way every voice would be heard and you could even install minority representation with more votes for different parties, like the green or libertarian party.
I just think it'd make more sense, but I get where you're coming from and my view might just be very European.
Just informed myself a bit more about that topic, and yes. The electoral vote is largely unfair, giving certain people in swing states up to 51% more influence then others. Where I come from we just count the popular vote. Much easier, much more accurate and above all: more democratic and free.

Not every motive for voting against "progressives" or democrats was about race. There were plenty of other issues to why certain candidates became president. There was a lot of revisionist, CRT addled, narratives that went into production for this video.
It was pretty difficult to watch.
bet they wouldn't have even mentioned the fact that the Progressive Party consisted of former Republican Party voters if it weren't for the fact that Theodore Roosevelt won 81 electoral votes as the Progressive Party nominee
This video is full of propaganda, glad others can see through the lies
They oversimplified it but nothing they said was a lie
@@sheevpalps3846 The part where they basically called the GOP a white supremacist party backing Trump based on racial lines is a pretty big one actually.
Rest of the world: Who ever has the most votes wins.
US: Nope.
We are a Republic, not a pure democracy. The electoral college gives small states and states with low population density a significant voice in national elections. I do not want this country to be run by a handful of states, either blue or red. Everyone's interests matter. Why would states accept elections if they feel like their vote does not matter? That is a recipe for division.
ya majoritarianism DNE democracy, under a lot of definitions
@@sarahtaylor4264
"I do not want this country to be run by a handful of states" then you do not want a Republic a direct democracy is the only way to make sure that no one side has too much power
@@MrElionor The Constitution requires a Republic, which means we vote for people to make decisions their constituents' behalf. Sounds like it meets the definition of a Republic. More specifically, we are a Federal Republic that uses democratic processes. As a voluntary union of states, each state is entitled to meaningful (not perfectly proportional) representation for national affairs. Large states still have more power than small states, but not enough to unilateraly override them. The founding fathers feared what they called tyranny of the mob. It meant that the majority of people would have absolute power over a minority. The House is allotted by population to reflect the majority's interests accurately. The Senate allots two per state so that the minority can then protect their own interests if they strongly disagree with federal legislation. If the majority of Senators approve, then the minority is at least heard. The President is a national issue, so it makes sense to find a medium ground between population and proportional representation. The original 2/3 to pass laws was meant to do that and force political parties to work together. Now it is 51% and most voting is done straight along party lines. I don't see how it is true democracy for each side of the isle to act based on party loyalty rather than the interests of most citizens. The founding fathers came up with a very intricate system of government that works.
Let's consider a small example. Imagine there are 61 people in total from two groups. A has 31 while B and C have 15. Decisions are made on 51%. If everyone in A votes yes while everyone in the other groups votes no or vice versa for the next 10 years or more all decisions are made A. If every group is nearly evenly split that B and C have no real power even though they are a good chunk of the population respectively. Now imagine they have to pick an inter-group leader. Each group gets a different number of votes based on population, but allots those points based on internal simple majority. A still has way more power to make decisions. It would be even worse if the disparity was larger. Even if both B and C voted for the opposite person it wouldn't matter. I would expect resentment to build if B and C's interests continue to be ignored. Imagine that among hundreds of thousands to millions of people. No group should get want they want 99%+ of the time.
Another danger of pure democracy is abuse of power. Group A could pass laws that benefit them but hurt Group B and/or C without any consequences. A lack of legal protection and majority rule allowed for things like slavery, Jim Crow, and the Holocaust. It can be a dangerous thing. That is why checks and balances, as well as republicanism, define our government. It makes abuse more difficult.
Finally, it is not practical to run a country on pure democracy. It would be a beauracratic nightmare and little would get done. We are too complex and large for it on a national level.
Pure democracy is actually extremely undemocratic in practice. It gives full power to the majority (not always a good thing) and crushes the voices of the minority, which could theoretically be as high as 49%. You are stripping entire states and minority interests of fair representation, which is the means to political power. That results in a dictatorship of the majority. I 100% believe the electoral college is important to keeping us united. Even though part of me would love for a couple of big, highly populated states to control the outcome of elections and hold the legislature If find the idea of that actually happening abhorent. It is a violation of democratic principles and respect for other members of the republic. I hope you are not an opportunist hiding behind pure democracy as a shield to push your own agenda and silence the group of people who oppose it. That is not morally acceptable.
I would encourage you to look into the Federalist Papers. It examines why the founding fathers made their decisions. Also, please do some research about real examples of and experiments with pure democracy. It typically doesn't work out well. I know I have likely not changed your mind, but I hope I this was a decent explanation of an opposing viewpoint. This stuff matters because it affects everyone in this country. I do want democracy and the best way for us to acheive it is with republicanism that balances majority and minority interests.
lol you gotta also take into consideration how big the USA is compared to countries in Europe. Like each state itself is almost the same size as a country in Europe so to base things off popular vote just wouldn't work. Maybe if we all lived in California, then yeah sure. Most votes wins
Now everyone is angry at Nevada

It's truly shocking seeing a map turn fully blue or red as the country united over something.
11:29 You didn’t even mention a crucial part of the election, Ross Perot. He ran as an independent and took lots of support from H.W bush. Although it’s debated if Perot not running would have lead Bush to Win another term, I think it’s bad to leave out one of the few times we’ve had a true 3 candidate race.
@☯ Yo, it's a Froggieee Onimations ☯ ✓ he won 19 million votes my man, yes he’s a real third party lol
@@josephpolizzi_5759 He was a loser
They did. Teddy and his Bull Moose Party. Teddy got a full 27% of the vote. Perot got almost 9%. Teddy beat the actual Democratic nominee. He also was more progressive than the Democrats
They'll mention the 4 guys that ran when Quincy Adams was elected but not Perot. They don't want to make Bills victory look bad. They called Obama's win a landslide and made sure to point out that Bush and Trump lost the popular vote. Meanwhile they breezed through the Reagan/Bush wins not mentioning Reagan to be the last Republican to win both New York and California in the biggest landslide election of our history.
@@anthonytejada181Perot got 9% in 1996 while he got 19% in 1992 and was Second Place in Maine
Lincoln won Ohio in 1860, Hughes got New York in 1916,Harding and Coolidge Won New York, Hoover won New York in 1928, Nixon won Florida in 1968, Reagan won Wisconsin in 1980 while Carter Won Rhode Island, Reagan won Hawaii in 1984 and FDR won Illinois in 1940.

I know right. There are so many just plain false and misrepresented statements in here it's not even funny. That lady at 3:05. What a complete misrepresentation of what the Republican party stood for and what they wanted to accomplish. They were the vehement anti-slavery party by the time of Lincoln. Not panderers of votes. And 10:05 Again a massive misrepresentation of the Democrat party of the time. Who were the party of the racist south. That wasn't a fight between "racist whites" and Democrats. It was a fight within the Democrat party. And the lie that the racist white democrats threw their support behind Republicans has been proven false so many times it's not even funny. Those are just a few to start!
srsly I thought I was the only one who noticed.
@@brianlevine249 True words have never been truly spoken, especially about that first clip. Like did they study history at all? Sure some could argue that during the start of the war, the main goal of the Republican party was to reunite the country as one. Which is OBVIOUSLY hat you should be thinking when your country splits into half. But they were 100% back on the lets try to fix slavery train.
At least the video didn't misrepresent the founding fathers too much. I HATE it when
videos talk so downly on the founding fathers for owning slaves. And they forget to mention that the time period was different and because of that some people saw slavery as just a normal thing. I mean think about all the stuff that we're thinking right now that people 300 years from now would think is so wrong, but we don't. And even though it was a different time, the founding fathers were some of the first people to have conflicting thoughts on the matter. With George Washington getting rid of his slaves after his wife died. And Thomas Jefferson originally abolitioned slavery in the original constitution I think is what it was, but knew that the southern states would NEVER join the country if they did, and they couldn't risk that at the time because of how big their economic troubles were. So he took it out of the draft, and honestly saved America, even if we had to fight a war a hundred years later
Sorry for going on a founding fathers tangent, I just HATE it so much when people misrepresent them lol
@@brianlevine249 No, the Democrats were definitely divided, hence why the southern ones started calling themselves "Dixiecrats."
@@duckmercy11 Of course they were. And Biden worked with them
@01:07 I'm pretty sure George Washington was staunchly against political parties and as such probably wouldn't have called himself a federalist.
Arguably he was leaning towards the federalists
He was against political parties, but he differed a great amount to authority to Alexander Hamilton, leader of the Federalists, and agreed with them on most if not all of the biggest policy issues of the time. So no, he was technically not affiliated and definitely would not have identified with the Federalists, but in terms of his policy, he was a Federalist.
@@mr.hamburger7281 said like someone who obviously hasn't read his farewell address
4:29 Presidents don't sign amendments, they are resolved as joint resolutions of Congress by 2/3rds majorities and ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures. Lincoln's signing of the thirteenth for example was symbolic and had no legal effect until ratification was achieved following his death.
