The rest of it is rigged already.

There are few more harmful things we can say to each other right now than the implication that everything is rigged and people's votes don't matter.

The states are huge, they are hard to rig, or we wouldn't have seen the successes we have already.

The electoral college is the rigging. The voting isn't rigged. The outcome is.

They don't care about Minoritytown, Alabama. That state goes red no matter what.

Similarly, they're not going to intimidate all of Maryland. That is already going blue. It would be a waste of time to try.

Your votes in these areas are counted, but they don't change the outcome. The popular vote is meaningless.

I don't subscribe to doomerism and I resent those who do.
