In 2016, the blue team won by 3 million votes and still lost the election. The system is broken. I'll still vote blue, but I don't think it will matter, especially since I'm not in a swing state.
Matters for your more local elections. Those swing states still send a lot of republicans to Congress every election. And control of Congress is pretty damn important.
More important than who's president.
Especially when you consider we HAVE TO retain the seats we already have. Even if we did that we probably won't get congress back.
I wish we could have congress back...
Turning 35 this September. Only 1 Republican has won the popular vote since I was born.
Well yeah, that's why they love the EC (and idea of land >>> people)
They don't care.
Sure they will tell people that democracy will end if Trump is reelected but actually trying to fix the voting system is too hard.
Not that there has been any movement to do something about it. Just vote Democrat™.
The electoral college, first past the post and gerrymandering basically make the American electoral system a joke
