The big reason why the electoral college has "rigged things" (aside from Jefferson fucking things up, but that's an argument for another time) is that the vote of so many has been so predictable. They only really worry about the places the outcome is likely to be volatile. Except in this election people are so pissed off that the outcome of the whole country is at least fuzzy, or can be if we work to make it that way. If they think they're gonna goround Texas, they need to send people down there to intimidate. But they don't. They might. In fact they're likely to.

Everything's in play if we make it all be in play. That's on us, so let's make it so sending goons to a few places won't suppress the nation's will. This isn't even a presidential election, so the electoral college isn't a factor. We can fix some of this shit right now.

Please help us do that! I'm treating this election like our lives depend on it, because they do.
