For starters the United States does not have a popular vote. The last two Republicans to win a presidential election did so while losing the popular vote. Every vote literally does not count.
If everyone who used Lemmy decided to or not to vote in this election, it probably wouldn’t change anything unless most of us are in the same swing state.
So when you said the original commenter not voting makes your vote count more. It’s literally not the case. Unless by some miracle you live in the same gerrymandered district of the same swing state.
Or you just took an inflammatory statement as an indicator of ignorance.
But I like that knowing what the electoral college is makes you feel smart. And I guess since they stopped requiring civics in high school that probably does make you above average ;)
Teach me!
Sure!

Oh wow- I had no idea that’s how it worked ;)
But I’ll still tell non and third party presidential voters they’re ‘surrendering their choice to me’ because you get so adorably triggered over it!
Oh you were just pretending to be dumb to troll me. Lol good one stranger. You sure fooled me. 🤣 Have a good one dude 👈😎
