Sure the EC sucks, but it’s not going away by voting for a third party which will get zero EC votes. You gotta have a real organized effort for something like that.
A much more significant factor than the EC is voter turnout. 2016 had the lowest voter turnout in decades. That’s the election that Trump got voted into office.
With just a five percent increase in voter turnout among young people, the Republican party is done. Finished. Abortion rights enshrined in federal law, student debt cancelled, real spending to fight climate change, rights of trans people (like you!) no longer under threat.
The GOP knows this, so they make efforts to discourage young people from voting. “Both sides are then same, don’t bother voting, if you do vote, vote for a third party.” It’s a strategy. A strategy that you’re on the internet repeating, against your own self interests.
You’re not running for president, but you’ve fallen for a scam being done by those that are. And you’re propagating that scam. You’re doing exactly what those that are working against your interests want you to do.
