Yeah but the people who own land matter more. The 17 that passed this are probably not the 100% red states here so this is gonna go nowhere

It won’t matter if those who enacted total more than 50% of the electoral votes.

As of April 15, 2024, the National Popular Vote bill has been enacted into law in 18 jurisdictions possessing 209 electoral votes, including

6 small jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont), 9 medium-sized states (Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington), and 3 big states (California, Illinois, New York)

After the last 25 years of American presidential elections, I’m more convinced than ever that I cannot trust a minority or a majority of them to make the right choices.

Tangentially and rhetorically, I wish Trump were president right now so that non-right-wing Americans could be convinced that genocide’s not a good look.

If the candidates were Trump and Mecha-Hitler the libs would feverishly support Trump for his "moderate stances"

Agreed. And just like we can now realize Bush Jr. was not the worst president ever, we will one day see that Trump wasn’t either.

I imagine there are few workarounds for voters in first-past-the-post nations.
