Teaching impatient people how software development works <| sep |> Swipe right all the time <| sep |> Yeah that ' s my point <| sep |> I don ' t buy that argument for a second . When is the last time Wyoming , Vermont , or Montana determined the outcome of an election ? I don ' t think there has ever been a Presidential Campaign visit to either , has there ? There were zero visits by Trump or Clinton this cycle , that ' s for sure . Those states aren ' t any more represented by the electoral college , and the argument is flimsy at best . Look at a map of where candidates campaign , and you ' ll see who is represented by the electoral college I ' ll give you a hint , it ' s pretty much Iowa , Ohio , PA , and Florida . At least with a popular vote , there ' s an actual reason to make a pitstop in Cheyenne or Montgomery to get people to the polls for yoru candidate or maybe get some people here and there to flip . And how many people do you know , personally , who live in a really blue or really red state ? Have they ever told you , Yeah , I ' m not going to vote because in my state , it doesn ' t matter . It ' s not even the minority party people I grew up in Texas , and there were tons of Republicans who didn ' t vote because there was no point in wasting your time . Right now , there are millions of people whose votes literally don ' t mean anything . We are invalidating votes of all Americans , both rural and city , in rural Wyoming and the swamplands of Mississippi and in huge cities like Los Angeles , Dallas , and Seattle . This isn ' t a ruralcity argument , because we ' re fucking all of them at once by making them think their votes don ' t matter .
