Changing the electoral vote process is one if my top dreams in our F’d up country. How hard can it be to just count the votes for each community or county? What a wicked web design we pay for.

My vote is my vote 🗳️

Nobody should be allowed to choose for me. Can you imagine how much tax dollars we could save if we just count by 1’s and do it again to establish factual totals. What happened to common sense? Slide the votes through a vote counting system, identify the filled in circles and waaaa-laaaaa you get a simple fix and a authentic and true vote result.

To many cooks in the very hot kitchen 🔥🔥🔥

Take back the power of your right to vote without the question of what your local government authorities are going to decide.

Power structures SUCK💥💥‼️‼️💥💥‼️‼️

I had no idea Hitler was that rich. $6 billion then would be more than $100 billion today. Yet another thing Putin has in common with Hitler.

I didn’t know that some Russian people didn’t have indoor toilets. This is 2024, they don’t have toilets sad. I knew of places in the south that didn’t have indoor toilets. That was horrible. There are always people that are worse off. Makes me sad.

Great points! The ultra rich piggyback on our, the working class, backs! As long as we tolerate it, things will remain the same!

It's surprising that there hasn't been more wayward electors voting the way they like. For sure Republicans this year will work on them (bribe them?) to vote Republican regardless of which way citizens of that state vote.

Spot on. Distractions, divisions and that damnable electoral college. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

The war over the temp in ones workplace will never end. And yes, I wore a sweater. Fucking freezing in that office. (lol)

I wondered when somebody would connect the dots.

Great piece. Mirrors what I’ve been saying for years. Our problems are all man-made, and it doesn’t have to be this way. Society has to want better, and the oppression has to be lifted.

For all of the seriously wackos still thinking Trump is the answer. Wake up he is literally laughing in yr face. Loose canon, doesn’t give a shit about US. You think he is a hero for keeping immigrants out by building a goddamned wall? And in the meantime he is doing shoddy deals left, right and centre. He does not give a shit about any of you. Get if in ye head. Biden at least has the excuse he suffers from dementia (so don’t ask him questions, too confusing). Vote for Independent non-war. And do not give me that crap anymore that is a vote for Trump. Stop listening to propagandist “news”. Vote with moral integrity.

Not voting or casting a vote for anyone other Harris amounts to a vote for Trump. It's math. I do not wish to be rude but this is not a debate.

Meanwhile we still have the electoral college.

"Each state has an electoral college, and they decide who gets that state’s votes for president."

False.

Every state the voters decide who gets that state's votes for President.

The electoral college merely gives unequal power to the rocks and coyote states but only for Senate seats.

Within each state the winner is by popular vote.

The electoral college is designed to give unequal power by "state" rather than by national popular vote.

Some of us started questioning things about the foundations of this country and as we’ve gotten older and understand well that this country didn’t have good, nor loving, nor caring and such about ALL PEOPLES!!

Dang even England had problems with treating their own people as fellow human beings before they went out to conquer more lands they had a high level of poor and almost poor people and often such was seen as a huge problem! It’s where when they came here they brought English and Irish indentured servants which by the way wasn’t too often honored by too many who owned those people!

And France wasn’t any better nor different in certain ways and neither were the Spanish really being any different then England in certain ways!! So it’s no surprise that all they touched was corrupted and tainted to where we’ve had to fight for the heart and souls of both this country and The Working Class!

The rich have for most part of human history been looking down upon the very people that even allow them to be rich in the first place!!

So why repeat the same errors? Haven’t we learned how liberal attitudes and policies benefit the least among us, as well as the self-described best. Enough already. Time for the greedy orange turf and his racist, misogynistic buddies to get the boot. Bye bye assholes!!

We are coming up on two hundred and fifty years as a nation. Time for the electoral college to go. One person, one vote. We don’t have slavery anymore so why have that? Sounds like a white thing to me.
