Lol .... when has the will of the common people ever mattered to politicians who are beholden to the ultra wealthy.

I'm in Canada and we suffer from the same problem.

Yeah, but only (rural) land here has any say, so whether most Americans want to do away with the EC is irrelevant. Only Republicans in rural areas should get to dictate the future of this country.

Turns out even that level of rigging is not enough for the traitorous Republican scum; they might be planning on having just enough states refuse to call the election and throw it to the House so their scum there can install the insane and incompetent donnie in the White House.

This is the kind of comment that we do not need here amongst the righteous. Of course you have a say, you have a vote. It doesn't matter which state, just fucking vote. The republicans are on their last leg, their only hope is that you give up and resign to your fate.

Don't. Don't give an inch. Go vote. Show them that we the people are still in power, and we will no longer stand for their corporate distopia.
