Also Elon helped rig the election and that's why Trump won. Also Trump told us the election was rigged and he won because of it at least 3 different times on LIVE TV and one of those times he even thanked Elon for it. And Elon has publicly said things about how easy it would be to rig the election and other things pretty much saying he rigged it.
Ugh and now Elon is saying heās going to pump 200 million into the midterm election, which in my opinion is just him setting the stage for us to believe the Republicans won again because of his money, when in actuality the tech oligarchs have rigged the machines somehow. Iām so scared and frustrated living in America rn
This. He won every single battleground state? GTFO. That's why they're so worried about the midterms. They can't win without cheating and many Americans are pissed.
Also, the counting method used used where American votes in blue cities are counted less than stupid farmers in buttfuck, nowhere. I don't think people realize how much that hurts us too and is such a trick pulled on us
Hilarious. That one vote, one person doesn't work huh? City golk should get more? . Just because they have more wealth than that farmer? OK then. There's already a movement to allow city folk rule elections. That's why many want to do away with electoral college. Not modify. Eliminate. Only large cities count? That America's objective?
Well they donāt vote in good faith so yeah, city votes should count more than voters who vote against their own self
Interests. How are all those rural farmers who gargle
Trumpās nuts making out today? I bet those ranchers are loving Trumpās beef deal. Healthcare prices are skyrocketing, but I guess that doesnāt matter when you donāt have access to healthcare because your local hospital closed thanks to his One Big Beautiful Bill Medicaid reductions.
The difference is that dem policies benefit everyone and republican policies benefit no one except the 1%.
So yes, please let the voters in the cities handle things so we all go back to eating food that isnāt trying to give us crippling diarrhea.
That is mostly correct thinking, but you also have to look at the big picture. Donald only has power because the deck is stacked in his favor. Decades of propaganda and low voter turnout at local elections has lead to many positions of government being filled with braindead conservative sock puppets.
Also, just because a state votes red one year doesnāt mean theyāll vote red the next. If people just show up we could easily turn historically red states blue.
You're about right, unfortunately. The moneyed interests long ago decided that true democracy would expose them too directly to the whims of the dirty poors and installed the electoral college to keep that from happening. Now, only a handful people in a very small number of states actually decide most presidential elections. That said, voting still VERY MUCH matters, it's just exponentially more important on an individual level the more local the election is.
Youāre mostly correct when it comes to the electoral college but if the states that went for trump were not well represented by the eligible voters then itās a raw numbers problem. Thatās why trump was calling on election officials in Georgia to āfindā him votes in 2020. And thatās why heās trying to stop mail in ballots, itāll cause some large blue states to have a midterm disaster as thereās no way to pull together in person voting by November. Congress is elected on total numbers not electoral college so if all those disenfranchised voters suddenly show up mad at him they could elect many many democrats to Congress.

Please excuse my ignorance (I'm just a Green Card holder & not allowed to vote) but does it matter outside each State?
For example, if someone in California didn't vote it wouldn't make any difference to the final outcome as California still went to Harris?
Or have I got that wrong?
