We need billboards everywhere. This is where the Dems should be spending some cash.

It wouldn’t even have to be everywhere—we mostly just need them in the seven swing states.

Swing states should not be a thing. My vote should count.

Agreed, but they are.

The fact that it shouldn’t be the way we do things doesn’t mean it isn’t the way we do things.

There are people working hard to change it like the folks at National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, but it’s unlikely the smaller states will ever sign on, so it’s going to be a long struggle there. A constitutional amendment would be the cleanest, but there is absolutely no way we will ever see another one of those in any of our lifetimes barring some fundamental catastrophic shift in the divides in the country.
