Do you feel sorry for people who live in areas that heavily vote against their party?

If the electoral system means their votes essentially count for nothing (for example, the Westminster system, or the winner-take-all Electoral College), then I feel a little bit sorry for them for that reason.

On the other hand, if the electoral system still takes their votes into account (for example, a nationwide popular vote, or a proportional Electoral College), then... not particularly.

I'd probably feel sorry for them if the political differences were a symptom of something deeper (for example, they were a marginalised minority); however, in that case, I'd feel sorry for them because of whatever's causing the political differences, and not the political differences themselves.
