I would burn the entirety of Ohio down in order to have more parties, I hate voting for the lesser of two evils, I've been doing it my whole life. Hardly feels like a democracy.
You know Donald Trump lost the 2016 popular vote, and George Bush lost the 2000 popular vote? ~~The last republican president to win the popular vote was George HW Bush in 1989 lol~~. Bush won reelection in 2004, my bad.
I'd go into the rest of the points, but you get it. It's a country for the rich
If we can't get rid of the electoral college entirely, electors should at least be proportional. For example, if Kamala Harris gets 25% of a state's votes and Trump gets 74%, then Harris should get 25% of the electors from that state (instead of zero).
George W Bush won the popular vote in 2004
You are very right, my bad. To be totally fair, by .7%. I'll edit!
Yah believe me if you had 6 or 8 you will still be voting for the lesser of two evils and you will spend your days trying to understand the differences...
Why do you say that?
We have a lot here in Italy and it's still a hard choice
