I don't agree. Our votes are supposed to count. If we were to be fair, candidates would win by the number of votes received, not by some system that's rigged to have "swing states" where depending on your location, the electoral college gets to decide. It's a load of bull shit.

Why do you think that your votes didn’t count? I remember them counting votes and they did seem to make a big difference throughout the election night. There was probably even a few dead guys in Chicago who’s votes counted ;p I think that swing states just means that they can go either way, based on the voting count, and are not a guarantee for any candidate. Which I think is good. Also, I think it’s rare if ever, that the electoral college has gone against the votes for a state.

If you don’t think your vote counts, then don’t vote.
