Actually, yeah, let's discuss the electoral college for a bit. In case you live in a ditch* or don't know what a "politics" is, the electoral college basically means that instead of the popular vote deciding an election, each state gets a certain number of votes, and THOSE are decided by election. So whoever gets the most states wins. As you can see, this is complete and utter crap.
So basically, we don't have a democracy here. I've mentioned this several times, but I think it's kind of a weird way to go about things. I mean obviously the whole thing about having a president technically makes us a democratic republic, which I've already discussed, is pretty stupid in the first place, but the electoral college bugs me even more. There's something very, very irritating about being told that you have the right to make your opinion known and have a voice in government, and then having the election not actually be decided by the popular vote. That kind of sort of makes me want to break things, which is always a good decision.
It sort of feels like we're going backwards. Like, in those insane dictatorships that they claim are democracies, where they have "elections" that are completely and utterly rigged. I'm not saying it's the exact same thing, but it just sort of feels wrong. Like, we shouldn't be doing things like that.
'CAUSE THIS IS 'MERICA DAMMIT! RIGHT? RIGHT!?
YEEEAAAAHHH!!!
*In which case, how exactly did you get on the internet?
