Good news everybody!

Hillary Clinton will be an Electoral College Elector for NY

Aren't you glad to know that your votes don't actually count and that Hillary Clinton is one of mere 538 people in the United States whose vote actually does count?

    I just voted for it on the Colorado ballot

    And I just voted against it! I did the most powerful thing I can do as an American to prevent this from happening!

    You just voted to take your own vote away and give it to Hillary Rodham Clinton.

      And you just voted for a non sequitur.

        Nope, I voted to take away Hillary Rodham Clinton's vote.
        And New York agrees with me! They also voted to take away Hillary Rodham Clinton's vote.

        Why do you want Hitlery to vote so badly?

      My state has a democratically elected government - the federation does not need to be directly elected. I'm all for increasing the number of electors (through repealing the Permanent Apportionment Act), but that would require changes that are unpopular with the elites who would lose power.

        the federation

        Sorry, the anti-federalist wind farmers were defeated not once in 1789, not twice in 1865, but a third time starting in 1933 when it took a librul commie to save capitalism from itself by proving that when the jerb creators go galt, we can still employ the working class to continue the work of building civilization. That pseudo-anon shitposter Publius would be proud.
