thing that I have seen repeatedly just now: people who are like “well, there’s no point in voting because Trump didn’t get the most votes and he still won and that shows the system is rigged” – the slightly more aware posters will also invoke the 2000 election – and while it’s a legitimate problem that the Electoral College works in a way that increasingly gives Republicans an unfair advantage, it’s also really dumb to invoke that DURING THE MIDTERMS. Because THERE ISN’T AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE FOR ANY OTHER OFFICE. The person with the most votes WINS. GET OFF YOUR DIDN’T-PAY-ATTENTION-IN-CIVICS-CLASS ASS AND VOTE.
