      Matters for your more local elections. Those swing states still send a lot of republicans to Congress every election. And control of Congress is pretty damn important.

          Especially when you consider we HAVE TO retain the seats we already have. Even if we did that we probably won’t get congress back.

          I wish we could have congress back…

      The electoral college, first past the post and gerrymandering basically make the American electoral system a joke

      They don’t care.

      Sure they will tell people that democracy will end if Trump is reelected but actually trying to fix the voting system is too hard.

      Not that there has been any movement to do something about it. Just vote Democrat™.
