Your vote does count equally... for your states electors.

I'll repeat what I said in another thread... waaahhhh!

He should have just said the protesters are whiny little bitches.

If I was discussing things with him, I'd have a few wahhhhhs for him as well. But likely, not as many as for you.

I'm not going to debate with you if you don't exercise a little bit more reading comprehension.

1 Entirety, not entity

2 I never said it was a perfect or even good system, I only tried to explain the idea behind it and why a pure democratic vote was rejected.

3 If you even glanced at dozens of my other posts in this thread or others you would be aware that I do not support this system.

I even went as far as to suggest an idea, several by now actually, how this could be improved without being entirely scrapped.

Why not scrap it? What is wrong with everyone's votes being equal.

What do states have to do with a national election?

Why are you for affirmative action for votes?

I'd be fine with scraping the government system, the government employees, the agencies, the economic system, and a host of other systems and the tools that enable them to be endlessly flawed.

But we won't. We won't do away with any of this without a full (and likely violent) revolution.

Because it's a great system. It balances the power of the various states. Your vote for the electors in your state are no more or less valuable than any others. You just don't like it because you'd prefer to give a big hard dry fuck to the middle of the country.

I fear I could explain this to you a thousand times and you'll still refuse to:
A. Get it.
B. Admit you're wrong.

The United States is a union of states. The individual states select the President. It will likely and justly always be thus.
