The U.S. presidential election is taking place in about seven states. If you’re in one of those states, you know that. Otherwise you may not realize: The presidential election is taking place elsewhere and you’re not relevant.
How can ANYONE still like our absurd Electoral College system? It keeps choosing the losing candidate. It disenfranchises most of the country. It’s a farce.
This is a way forward, if only more people understood it:
