    I don’t think it’s any more wrong than the electoral college thing. In some ways it makes sense, but it means my vote counts wayyyyy less than a person in Wyoming. I find that unfair and that it’s already an imbalanced playing field. So I will vote in a way that makes me feel like my voice gets heard.

    K bro

    Oh dear. You can’t decide what my vote means any more than I can decide how you’re going to perceive it.

    No, I wanted my vote to be counted in the Green Party stats and not the Dem Party’s. That to me wasn’t a waste.

    I don’t have a ton of time to respond, but:

    I think a better strategy would not have been to shame 3rd party voters (which has the reverse impact), but rather, in an attempt to come together, explain that math to people. I wouldn’t say broadcast it bc then you might flip states, but if you have a friend who seems unsure/confused, break it down to them. Whatever

    thank you, dear! We probably do! :)

    I voted the way I felt was best for this country and the world. That is my right and it counted into the statistics the way I intended it to. It has nothing to do with smearing shit on the wall? Wat even

    You may argue like a teenager, but I’ll bite.

    yay for adult discourse

    Yep, in New York State, which had a 99.8% chance of being blue. And no matter how many people insinuate I’m scum, I’m still cool with my decision.

    The way climate change is covered in our media and during the elections makes it seem like it’s not big deal. I often travel for work and so many other countries cover climate change issues seemingly daily. We hardly mention it in comparison.

    Don’t tell people to stop protesting about things they believe in.

    I’ve been high ever since. Not really, but it seems like it. I’m taking a break till Friday.

    I understand how the electoral college helps states who would be underrepresented have a say and also be relevant for campaigning (unless these “smaller” states are decidedly red or blue of course), but underrepresentation is not only a problem related to where you live. Minorities are also underrepresented.

    I voted. I voted strategically in a state that had a 99.8 percent chance of turning out blue.

    I used 538, which pegged NY as 99.8% chance of turning out blue. The percentage was high enough for me to consider it very safe.

    NY is a far cry from Michigan in terms of safe v swing.

    baiii

    Are you just trolling now?
