American presidential terms are 4 years and now we're spending 2 of those years worrying about the next election.

During those 2 years we spend $17 billion and drive half the country into frothing madness, but thanks to the electoral college it always comes down to the same 50,000 voters in the same three states.

Every vote doesn’t count.

Observation you make is pretty obvious…

Your point being? Your solution?

Democracy doesn't work in the current form

The solution is to not waste your time worrying about the election.

Because the outcome is pre-determined?

Because vote counting is fraudulent?

Because VoTiNg is a means of perpetuating the matrix-like control of all normies?

For me it’s really all of the above.

everyone knows the system has been broken for decades but the charade continues, even though for almost everyone the results are ever declining quality of life and health

System is not broken, it works exactly as it supposed to!

true... and it's been that way from day 1, all the constitutionalist morons seriously believe forming the federation was ever a good thing or somehow got "corrupted" - before 1 decade was passed the racket was back in full effect

And whatever happens it’s forever war.

Isn’t democracy great.

This is why left/right politics is irrelevant..

... and states have been gerrymandered to ensure a stalemate.

that frothing madness is the news that is corrupted imo/ what i see locally is not the same

but hell, let's take a vote lol

add to that that many who worrying and talking are outside US. europe also talking constantly about US election. add to that that probably president is not decisive part of overall US power machine.

but still US is great country )

My vote has never counted. My state is as predictable as gravity

you changed it just enough to make it yours

Definitely seems we can approach presidency/voting from a much more effective and efficient angle…grateful for where we live but lets keep improving for sure

Sounds like a well designed democracy 👍

You only spent two years worrying about the next election!?

Yes there is a problem, but it has nothing to do with the electoral college.
