The GOP is losing the inner suburbs...but the outer suburbs are getting redder

And then there's this:

"The Lubbers, who are Republicans, feel the same. So when they voted in 2016, they wrote in Mitt Romney and John McCain. It was the first time since 1972 they had not voted for the Republican candidate for president.

“I couldn’t have lived with myself if I’d voted for Trump,” Mrs. Lubbers said.

They were not alone. About 326,000 voters in Michigan in 2016 either wrote in a name, picked a third-party candidate or chose nobody at all. That is about 1 in 15 people who voted and about 30 times Mr. Trump’s margin of victory here."

And so, by voting 3rd party or not casting a vote at all, you enabled his win.

Good work there.

Yes, people who vote third party are being selfish. They think the election is all about them and their feelings, rather than about the country as a whole.
