Democracy is when only 14% of voters get to decide an entire election and the other 86% are functionally meaningless (hexbear.net)

This is based on 43 states being considered "non-negotiable" and "set in stone" while only 7 are considered "swing" states

Also consider I specified "voters", who are at best only 2/3 of the total population, which leaves out about 100 million extra people

Every single aspect of voting in this country is a system of hedging bets. It is a tangled mess of yarn, fishing line, cables, and hair. Unfucking a single piece of it wouldn’t fix it, nor is anyone even willing to try. The system cannot correct itself and voting is a useless waste of time. The only way to “Save Democracy” would be to burn it all down and go again.

I'm told that if we vote and then wish hard enough RCV will manifest and save everything
