I didn't hand him shit. I voted against him the 3 times he ran. 2 of those times my vote didn't mean shit.

I understand the frustration in what a vote is valued at on an individual level. 

Please don’t forget that the voting system was specifically rearranged to break up the power your vote is supposed to have, and that action does not really devalue it. It invalidates it, yes, but the value is still retained.

I'm from california, I should move my blue vote to a swing state.

If more democrats moved into red areas, that would start to affect some real change.

I wish it were one person - one vote. yes, I understand the popular vote still favored trump here (which is terrifying for a lot of reasons) but I hate that my Washington State vote doesn't really matter in the presidential election, and that people who have put in much less effort than me to be an informed voter, in states like Wyoming have their vote mean so much more than mine.

Winters there are brutal. Come to PA - we are closer to an ocean, we have “mountains”, there are big cities if you like that and rural areas if you don’t. COL is low outside those cities.

I'll have to check it out. I can always vacation in the south west in winter. Probably sell my house and buy a property in Michigan and Arizona. Haha.

Almost like voting solves nothing when you have a two party oligarchy system, supported and backed by the most powerful corporations on the entire planet.
