What are they?

 Thomas Williams, 5/1/2026

What voting subclass of people live in the New England states up there? The part of the country I call Snobville, which keeps voting for that disgusting, hypocritical, Communist Bernie Sanders, what kind of population of people would do that? The kind that lived dirty, slimy, cheating all the time. Lying about other people, pointing their accusing finger. When they are the ones who are hurting instead of helping, guilty of what they say about their competition. 

What kind of people have lived in the New England states all these years since 1865, after Lee surrendered, behaving unfaithfully to the American Republic? Research the current names in the three branches of government living or representing the New England states. I don't know how we are to succeed in making this country's politics better, while living around them at the same time.

“Since the conclusion of the American Civil War in 1865, New England’s political identity has undergone a significant transformation. Initially a stronghold for the "Yankee Republicanism" of the 19th century, the region transitioned into a primarily Democratic voting bloc during the 20th century.”

Regional Voting Demographics

Today, New England is characterized by several distinct demographic and voting traits:

• High Educational Attainment: Voters in states like Vermont and New Hampshire consistently rank among the highest in the nation for bachelor's degrees.
• Active Voter Turnout: The region maintains some of the highest participation rates in the country, with Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont often leading in voter turnout rankings.
• Population Stability: While all six states have gained population recently, growth in northern New England (Maine and New Hampshire) has been driven largely by domestic migration from other U.S. states.
• Bernie Sanders' Coalition: In Vermont and neighboring states, Senator Sanders maintains broad popularity, often securing over 70% approval among his constituents. His base is particularly strong among younger voters and those who identify as Independent or very liberal.

Current Federal Representation (as of May 2026)

As of mid-2026, New England’s delegation in the federal legislative branch is predominantly Democratic:

• U.S. Senate:
• • Connecticut: Richard Blumenthal (D), Chris Murphy (D)
  • Maine: Susan Collins (R), Angus King (I)
  • Massachusetts: Elizabeth Warren (D), Ed Markey (D)
  • New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen (D), Maggie Hassan (D)
  • Rhode Island: Jack Reed (D), Sheldon Whitehouse (D)
  • Vermont: Bernie Sanders (I), Peter Welch (D)
• U.S. House of Representatives:
• • Currently, all 21 congressional districts in New England are represented by Democrats.
  • Massachusetts: All nine seats are held by Democrats, including Richard Neal (MA-1), Jim McGovern (MA-2), and Ayanna Pressley (MA-7).
  • Maine: Represented by Chellie Pingree (ME-1) and Jared Golden (ME-2).

Historical Context

Historically, Vermont held the longest streak of voting for Republican presidential nominees in the U.S. (16 consecutive elections from 1900 to 1960). The shift toward the Democratic Party began in earnest with the 1928 election of Al Smith and solidified during the New Deal era as urban Catholic voters (Irish and Italian Americans) mobilized within the Democratic Party.
