    I don’t live in a swing state and I feel disenfranchised. My vote for president, for all intents and purposes, does not count in the current electoral college system.

    I can’t wait for the compact to go into effect. Turnout in so many states would increase a lot.

    However, my optimism is tampered by this supreme court.

        Literally what that person just said. They said: if they vote against the US district or state majority then their vote didn’t really do anything.

                Wow, long thread about it. By the way, I didn’t add the “don’t” after your comment. I just fixed a typo from “I can’t way for…” to “I can’t wait for…”. The “don’t” was there all along. You may have missed it. But no worries. I think we are all on the same page here.

                  Yeah, I wore that eight hours into a 12 hour graveyard shift. My brain was not fully functioning and I just wanted to inform the guy that you had updated your comment
