      This is a fatal flaw of forgetting that your vote affects state politics which, arguably, is more impactful on your day to day matters than federal issues.

      Also if you push your state more to the left, the greater odds of the NPVIC being triggered which automatically enables a national popular vote.

        Which would get promptly shut down by our corrupt as fuck SCOTUS.

          Nope. Electoral delegation is completely in control of the states. That why some can partition them (think ME and NE).

              Oh, that’s just hyperbolic defeatism. That type of thinking is really not good for you.

                Stick your head in the sand, I’m sure they won’t sneak up on you while you’re hiding away from reality.

                Prove me wrong. Show me literally any mechanism that can constrain the Courts that hasn’t already been ruled out by Democrats and doesn’t require Republicans to vote for it. They can accept bribes and overturn any law they want and openly support insurrectionists and there’s jack shit anyone can do about it.

                  You know, for someone who I think is, ostensibly, fighting for the a better and more tolerant future you’re a terrible ally.
