I remember being in 3rd grade and learning about the electoral college and thinking, "that's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard of". Still true to this day.

Okay guys stop up voting this! Simply let me assure you that I will upvote for you!

If you upvote this comment to 100, I will upvote the way you want me to upvote.

Actually I'll do you better! Look. I know these guys who can upvote. If you upvote my comment past 100, I'll have them vote for you just the way you telepathically have told me to upvote by up voting for me....what? Why would you even need to know me or my friend who hasn't even talked to you directly? That's crazy talk! I'm an upvoter, I upvote. They. My friends who can upvote are true upvoters too. Soon you won't even need to upvote at all! You can just go read all the shit we Upvoted for you! Yey! We call our selves the "Upvotlectoral" college. We learn algebra in this college too, but we never graduate...at least you don't know if we have graduated or not.
