    And I keep reminding people that voting specifically for POTUS is basically a waste of time since the electors are actually the people who actually get to vote.

    Sure you wouldn’t want to have 90% republican electors. But in the ends it’s those idiots who get to select the president. Not us. And the BS behind the system is basically to allow unpopulated areas to have more voice. But unpopulated areas are all Republican. What are we? Stupid?

      I was never going to vote “for Joe” and I’m not planning on voting “for Kamila”. I vote for my kids. Who wants them to get a good education? Who wants them to have control over their own bodies? Who wants to leave the world a better place for them? Whichever candidate is the best for my kids is who gets the vote. I’d vote for an inanimate carbon rod before Trump because even a president who did nothing would be better for the future than Trump.
