I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

And the solution to the electoral college is to just fucking abolish it? I didn't know it was this easy! Surely any second the system decides to abolish itself! Any second now...
Unless you abolish the system before the November election, either Trump or Harris will become US president. It is mathematical certainty in the same way that neither Harris nor Trump will be teleported to Mars through spontaneous quantum tunneling.
The problem isn’t the fucking electoral college. That’s a smokescreen for the real issues at play.
Like it or not, if you vote for Harris, you are complicit in genocide. If you don’t like that, I strongly suggest doing something other than sitting around telling people on the Internet that they’re wrong for having morals which do not align with your own.
I will never vote for Harris for I am not allowed to do so.
By paying taxes in the US you are far more complicit in enabling genocide by the way. How many shells have you personally financed - including through your productivity when working - may I ask? Obviously you can choose to stop paying taxes and go to prison to become a financial burden. They can't arrest everyone, can they? Clearly that's the answer.
Every single US citizen is enabling genocide. The question is how you will stop it. And it most certainly won't be through making a cross on a piece of paper every 4 years.
And if you have the ability to vote in the US election and don't or vote third party, you are complicit in everything the winner does. Like it or not, your choice enabled their presidency.
