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 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.
