I am fearful of the electoral college (again/still)... [View all]

I know Dems can crush MAGA in the midterms and Team tRump is going to do everything imaginable both legal and illegal to screw up the results but what I fear the most is the 2028 elections.

American voters must turn out in droves but since many Americans are brain dead when it come to US history and politics I fear we will have a huge challenge. Social media is also to blame as an exhilarant.

The electoral college has screwed the Dems for over 25 years. The popular vote is not what decides elections. It's the electoral college that is making me fearful.

I think ahead even though it depresses me. I am a realist.
