    Gore never became President. Did you maybe mean Bush?

    I have a lot of problems with the Electoral College, but voting absolutely still has impact and the number of states that have become “battlegrounds” is increasing, rather than decreasing, as more people vote.

    Beyond that, local elections absolutely matter, as book bans, trans legislation etc very clearly shows.

    But again, yes, the EC is absolutely ridiculous and stupid.

      I meant, Bush lol. Corrected. If only we had Gore.

      And yes, I think people should still vote. But I understand people who get disillusioned with our system, too. It’s a dumb system designed to squash their voice. The Founders said so.

      On the other hand, that doesn’t mean they should do nothing. It means they should vote local, like you said, or get educated and organize in other ways.
