I think that's worthwhile. YMMV. Instead, you toss shade and insults with aliens and illuminati bullshit.
You're all over the page with your comments. AND over the top, too.
Why are you trying to tout the process of disenfranchisement? Seems rather odd to me. Trump is taking this tack on twitter, but I expect better here.
You know, once upon a time, we traveled by stagecoach. It's the way we always traveled. But guess what? It's not how we travel nowadays.
There is such a thing as progress--in transportation and elections.
Once upon a time, "we" didn't pick our Senators--our GOVERNORS did. There were no votes to count, if you were a pal of the head guy, you could get the gig. It's not how we do it anymore. We've evolved.
We didn't let women and black people vote either--once upon a time, it was just property owning white men who were allowed to do that. We CHANGED that.
We can evolve on this issue, too. It's past time. And this recount highlights the utter bullshit that the person who gets the most votes doesn't get the gig. And the person screwed over in the four times this has happened has always been a Democrat.
Starting to smell the unfairness of it all? If not, you need to recalibrate.
And you watch--in your lifetime, the popular vote WILL matter. You don't have to help make change, but plenty of us have that fight in us, even if you don't. Off to the sidelines if you don't want to help.
