I heard the deluxe package comes with an after dinner noose as well . <| sep |> He could ' ve easily just punched to propel himself back to earth <| sep |> well i ' ll be damned about the desoxyn . holy shit . my bad <| sep |> Good . I ' ve often thought about starting a free thought group during lunch to counter the Chaplain ' s Bible study . <| sep |> Here ' s the problem . In many states , who you vote for at the top of the ticket doesn ' t matter anyway unless you ' re a purpleswing state . States like NY , NJ , and CA will always go blue because of democrats make up majority of the voting base . AL , LA , and TX will always go red because of the voting base . Unless something huge happens to get a bunch of people to move to the other party , your vote in that state for president essentially means nothing . Down ballot is another thing but that ' s not what we ' re discussing right now . I wrote in Bernie on my ballot in NJ . But it was pointless because NJ wasn ' t going to go to republican for president probably for the rest of my life , and an overwhelming majority of the population is blue . So just by voting against or not voting at all for hiliarydemocrat as an individual means nothing in NJ . In 2012 , writein accounted for 0 . 2 % of the votes casted . That ' s not even going into who got what of that 15 of 1 % So if you ' re name isn ' t next to a check box , you ' ve essentially wasted your vote and might have just not voted for either candidate if you didn ' t like either one . So from my experience , your top of the ticket vote only matters if you are in a swing state . Outside of that , it ' s a waste when it ' s already known what way the state is going to go . Why do you think no one campaigns in hard blue or hard red states ? It ' s because those are already known so they get ignored . Ohio , PA , Wisconsin , Florida , etc . They get all the attention because they hold all the power . And let ' s also take into account the electoral college . Which means your vote means even less since technically they choose who is president , not you because president isn ' t determined by popular vote . That ' s how we are in the situation we are in now . Otherwise going off of pure votes , HRC is supposed to be president elect . But per the rules , Trump is president . The rules also state that the EC can give all their votes to either candidate if they wanted to . So even though NJ voted double digit margin for HRC , there is literally nothing stopping them from giving NJ ' s electoral points to Trump . So yea . Every vote counts . depending on the state you live in .
