So......given your logic we should all just stay home and set on our hands during a presidential election?
Nooo! The problem is those we elect, senators and reps, have THEIR OWN agendas and don't vote our way..
The ones that get elected to Wash. are generally better than the ones who don't get sent east.. Neither will do what we want once there..
Sorta the lesser of two evils sorta thing
Keep voting boys and girls.. One day it will all work out..
Being a veteran who served to protect the right to vote.........I still choose to vote.
Thom, Thank you dearly for serving and protecting us Sir, and I mean that. Thank you. Dearly. Sincerely.
However, your vote for President doesn't count unless your candidate carries the state. That's why they campaign the way they do, avoid the desolate states.
I understand the concept of the electoral college.
You can win the popular vote and still lose......it's happened before.
Sort of like the tail wagging the dog.
The same issues pops up in states as well.........ask Grumpy.......in Illinois it's Chicago that runs
the rest of the state.
That's where the population is..........and they're all a bunch of crooks.

that's exactly why the Electoral College should be abolished........as it is, the over-populated coastal states control the elections. I wrote a term paper in High School (1963) to that effect. popular vote should be the measure, but no luck in changing the system so far.....

Agree........count the votes.........who has the most wins.

um, did I say that, but with them being able to count WE the PEOPLES votes and inform the local/state/fed governments of that number in hours, not some guy travel'n on a horse.. they don't need the ele. college.. and FACT they don't have to vote. what the people voted.. just because the people wanted say , Romney. there is nothing from the ele college vote to not be put in for the other guy.. and why they fight over SEATS in the 2 houses..
my state is as blue as they come.. and until they trash the ele. college. my vote means zero.. yes I still go to the polls and vote. but I also know, it's not gonna mean spit.. and I'm sorry if you can't see that.

Take the time to read my prior posts and you'll see I have somewhat of an understanding
of your dilemma.

Right.. Supposedly the reps and senators we elect are supposed to vote how we want them to..
That s what Mr Monk is trying to point out..
so..NERF, our vote does count in he long run... Supposedly..
There has been mention of popular vote guy still losing the election
only have to look as far as the ACA they where told by millions, we don't want it.. well. we got it.. but they well, passed a bill so they don't have to use it..

I took the time, but I was reply'n to yours that you quoted mine.. it's all good.. but things have got to change, including the subject being tabo. and off limits everywhere.. cause frankly, that's how we ended up here.. can't be involved when you are told not to talk about it..
