    My friend, that’s not how the electoral college works. Most of those potential votes did not matter at all. Please don’t go around victim blaming carelessly. It’s not cool.

      The electoral college doesn’t work like you apparently think it works either. Those votes definitely did matter, don’t go around spreading apathetic fascism apologetics.

      Texas had a 61% voter turnout with Trump only winning with 56% of the vote meaning that of all eligible voters only 34% voted for trump. So yes, even the voters in Texas who said my vote doesn’t matter because the state is going red anyway were wrong it only went red because all of them stayed home
