Look, if hospitals are going to close (let's assume they are) the choice is which ones to keep open. Do Democrats benefit more by keeping open hospitals which support reliable voters who have consistently votes? Or by keeping open the ones which support fascists and some hypothetical maybe voters?

that is in fact the math you would have to do (which is decidedly not the premise of the thread, fwiw) bsky.app/profile/ouji...

The math is not as difficult as you think it is. Hypothetical maybe sorta almost kinda potential votes don't matter. Just sort by margin and fund hospitals from the top down until you run out of money.

remember that the point of this is to win votes; if you're killing off GOP voters, democratic voters, and democratic-leaning non-voters indiscriminately, i think the math (of this deeply silly purely imaginary exercise) is actually quite complicated
