Do you know what will definitely NOT help get rid of the electoral college? People wasting their votes on 3rd party spoilers
Do you know what would MORE LIKELY move people to demand the elimination of the electoral college? Harris getting 10 million+ more votes, and Trump either winning the electoral college or attempting a coup based on lies because a swing state was close.
The more votes Harris gets, the clearer the will of the people, the harder it is to pretend there was voter fraud.
Hola. I have heard you are concerned about people “wasting votes”.
With First past the post voting, you only get one vote and that’s it, your vote isn’t counted against the person you don’t want in office.
However, did you know there are more representative electoral systems out there where it is possible for people’s votes to not be “wasted” should they be inclined?
This reform is possible at the state level, so we don’t need to wait for federal reform. Speaking of, there are already a couple of states that have replaced FPTP voting.
So since this reform is possible, and considering your passionate concern with “wasted votes”, I invite you to swing by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.
“You have to vote for a candidate that refuses to represent you so that people who don’t care about the will of the people will think that you support that candidate.” is a new one.

You want to stop votes being “wasted” don’t you?
“You have to vote for a candidate that refuses to represent you so that people who don’t care about the will of the people will think that you support that candidate.” is a new one.
What a bold and bizarre claim to think there is any winning margin that would repel suspicions.
If Harris wants liberal votes, why is she courting Republicans?
