    this is harder to say when you look at how Americans in the urban parts of the South had to wait upwards of 6 hours in line to vote, amidst intimidation by armed militias and often facing dismissal from their workplaces if they weren’t at work on time that day

      Look, it’s different if you tried to vote and weren’t able to. If you literally made no effort, then stfu. I should have been a bit more clear on that.

      There’s a lot that needs to be done to make the American system better, electoral college, gerrymandering, blatant voter intimidation, better worker’s rights that include the right to have leave to vote.

        none of that will be done because the party currently in power is only in power because of the failing system. if we revolt we should just start from a better base system

          shrugs I agree, just gotta wait and see how things pan out. Hope that America gets their shit together.
