    Not everyone lives in a swing state where votes actually matter.

      Do you know what will definitely NOT help get rid of the electoral college? People wasting their votes on 3rd party spoilers

      Do you know what would MORE LIKELY move people to demand the elimination of the electoral college? Harris getting 10 million+ more votes, and Trump either winning the electoral college or attempting a coup based on lies because a swing state was close.

      The more votes Harris gets, the clearer the will of the people, the harder it is to pretend there was voter fraud.

        “You have to vote for a candidate that refuses to represent you so that people who don’t care about the will of the people will think that you support that candidate.” is a new one.

        What a bold and bizarre claim to think there is any winning margin that would repel suspicions.

        If Harris wants liberal votes, why is she courting Republicans?

      I must have missed that footnote in their rhetoric.

      Come on, guy.

      Thank goodness not enough people in “safe” states think that way.

      I think we have the best chance to break the third party at the local level.

      You sure seem to have every excuse in the book, don’t you?
