Voting in this system only guarantees the wealthy win most elections. Maybe that’s good enough for you. Maybe not.

Voting without demanding your vote be counted in public is not a good way to reform politics.

And maybe you are in a state that does count votes like that. But even if you are, your federal elections are at the mercy of the majority of systems that are not democratic.

    We are fixing the systyfrom the ground up.

    Not voting for the better candidate makes it a longer journey with more pain to fix it.

    If you think the way forward is voting, then the primary goal should be making states count ballots properly.

    However I can guarantee that this will not be popular at all.

    It’s much more practical to spend energy and time on things that are proven to work

    We absolutely should abolish the electoral college.

    How well is not voting and letting Trump win working out for Palestine right now? They doing super well over there?

    Maybe letting the fascists win doesn't work lol

    I'm good, I'm posting the truth whether people like it or not.

    I know this is a pretty extreme far left community, and people will downvote just because they don't like the truth.

    But I'll still stand up for what's right regardless.

    This shit is why I despise people like you. You are both blind AND arrogant, and I can't stand blind arrogance. Go to double hell.

    You have faith voting for something or someone means that something or someone will win.

    While we would both be glad to see bad people not be in power; you expect something from a system that is a fairy tale. The states that have fair voting are in a minority.

    Trump most probably did not win his first national primary if the votes were counted fairly. Instead of revamping that system to where it could not happen again, people are wasting their energy
