      Yup! So did Al Gore in 2000.

      Imagine all the bullshit we’d have been spared if it hadn’t been for Roger Stone and the other cheating cunts behind the Brooks Brothers Riot, Jeb Bush, and the already corrupt as fuck SCOTUS 😮‍💨🤬

        Don’t forget Clarence Thomas. He was also heavily involved at the time, in fact he played a decisive role, and he is just as obviously corrupt today as he was then. No consequences, no accountability whatsoever.

      Yup, the electoral college is what ruins everything. Allows gerrymandering to exist and denies the majority of Americans their vote validity.

          This is so true. I think I recall the current administration saying that ranked voting is bad for everyone and we need to pass laws banning it. They want every election to be first past the post since it benefits them in addition to gerrymandering and winner take all electoral college voting.

            Ranked-choice voting in single-member districts is a small improvement over first-past-the-post, but it maintains a two-party system. Proportional representation is a necessary requirement for a functional democracy.
