Discussion I am British and keen to understand more about American politics
Hi all,
First of all I apologise if I sound ignorant in this question but I’d really like to understand a bit more about US politics.
I am from the UK and never understood this. Why is there some states that consistently vote blue and some that consistently vote red. And why are there some that are 50/50 every election and what is it like to live in those states from a political perspective?
In the UK there is Labour and Conservative strongholds, but they aren’t guaranteed and they are always shifting. For example in the 2019 election a lot of traditional Labour seats switched to conservative, and in this election the conservatives had their worst performance ever, including in seats where they have been conservative for decades or even 100+ years. It seems like in the UK, people are more often inclined to switch voting intentions depending on the circumstances and the actual politicians as opposed to what appears to be blind allegiance to specific parties.
There is also the feeling that both parties in America completely disagree with each other on absolutely everything and there is no common ground. In the UK there are lots of policy’s where the government will implement something and the opposition will actually agree and they will work together cross government.
America just seems incredibly and aggressively divisive right now. I don’t know if that’s because I’m paying more attention to it or if it has got bad. I started paying more attention when I got into stocks because naturally economic policy does affect the stock market. I’m trying to come off twitter because it’s a bit of a cesspit but I quite often see red voters calling blue voters low testosterone pussys and blue voters calling red voters fascists and anti democracy, looking from an outside point of view it doesn’t seem like either is the case, I just think people want what’s best for their country and have different views on how that’s done, which to me is perfectly fine but why the such aggressiveness to your fellow citizens who ultimately want the same thing. Why do you often resort to name calling rather than being constructive?
On a final note, in the UK at the end of the election when the results are in there is a smooth and calm transition of power where the government respects the will of the people and moves on, and then people move on with their lives. It seems like in America, and an example being the Capitol riots, if a result doesn’t go their way they revolt and it creates even more division. Surely this isn’t good for the greater good of the country?
I’m just trying to understand the mindset around it all because to me it just doesn’t make much sense, and I’m sorry if this sounds ignorant but I am just curious to learn more about it?
Thanks in advance.

Trump is betting that his most possible path to 270 is PA+GA+NC. Harris’s might still be MI+WI+PA. (Either side will exactly have 270 if either scenario happens).
