duh... i know that... you still have to win the majority of votes to win that state's electoral votes.... *yawn*
The people of Fergurson didn't vote either...
Yes but this isn't a vote on a state official
So the fact you can lose a state by 1 vote and all those votes are nullified towards the totality of electing the leader of a country makes voting pointless
and you neglect that fact that certain states HAVE MORE VOTES THAN OTHERS
So you can get blown out in the popular vote and still win the electoral college
Well, me personally, I'm not voting because it isn't any candidate running "worthy" of my vote. Plus, I've spent majority of my life in Alabama and live in Texas now; I know what color my states are going to be. lol. If you aren't in a swing state...........
Plus, real change happens at the local level.
Dumbass you know you vote for local officials on the same ballot you get for voting on president right?
voting for president is irrelevant unless you live in like 9 states.
i don't support not voting locally. they won't address your needs if you withhold voting for any of them. they will just address the needs of the electorate.

it's only happened twice that a president lost the popular vote and won the electoral college... . voting does matter... i agree with tariq that it needs to be strategic... but using your example, if the republicans won california by 1 vote thus winning the electoral college, the majority of republican voters in california made the difference.. .therefore voting did matter in that instance... however, there is a reason why republicans are not relying on a strategy of barely winning california to win the presidential election.... my point against tariq was not so much whether the electoral college matters or not, it's that the vast majority of the time whoever wins the state's popular vote normally gets the electoral votes.... voting matters!
Jesus christ why don't you actually listen
Every American vote should count
If you lose a state by 1 vote, all the votes you got in that state should tally with the other votes, that is what makes sense and what is fair
I didn't say the republicans were using it as a strategy it was just an EXAMPLE of how pointless voting is and how it can be easily rigged to get whoever you want in
it's a joke, politics in this country is nothing but theater
George Bush stole an election right before the people's eye and no one did anything lol, so if they can't socially engineer it they will just flat out do what they want anway

damn, i just noticed your title... i'll end this conversation now and save myself the headache....
I never heard of him until the coli and never hear anyone talk about him off of the coli.I never even heard of dude until a few weeks ago.
Typical response when you have none
instead of pointing out something that wasn't true you behave a like a third grader
which is why this country is on the path of decline because this generation can't deal with difficult matters

Brehs, the presidents main power is electing supreme court justices. Beyond that everything has to get by a partisan congress so.......the most important thing is voting for senators, congressman and local officials. That's where we drop the ball i think. Even if we keep Trump out of office it won't mean anything if a bunch of republican minions get voted into the other positions
What exactly has voting Democrat done for blacks? Bill Clinton has locked up more blacks than anyone. If you look, most of those liberal cities are some of the most gentrified and they continually run blacks out. Even in Texas, Austin, which is the liberal capital of Texas, ha a minuscule black population. All these Democrats have to do is hit the Nae Nae on tv and promise some of that government dope, aka some benefits that you will likely never receive, and you'll have blacks rushing to the ballot box to put in their votes for Democratic Daddy, ignoring the fact that blacks are actually worse off under Obama than even Bush. Republicans are the gorilla pimps. You know they don't like you and they will make that obvious. Democrats are smooth, polished players selling blacks dreams, and those dreams get eaten up. They are so smooth that they even have blacks believing that aborting their own babies is bringing wealth and prosperity to the black community. Look at how blacks are getting marginalized once the Democrats found their new hoes, aka Latinos, homosexuals and white women. "Say baby, play the background and don't say nothing. I'll promise I'll get around to you eventually."
Al Gore actually goes on record on how the fertility of Africa needs to be 'managed' and yet people still won't wake up. Your votes should never be automatic. Make these parties WORK for your vote.
