I mean, what did Biden and Harris really do to earn my vote?

That slate, however... they're amazing!

Our system might have made sense at one time, but it really is beyond stupid by this point.

Thanks for the laugh.

This general election was not the primary. This vote at least tabulates "the popular vote".

You had to vote for Biden electors separately (though all the candidates’ electors were clearly labeled and grouped together).

a compromise that devalued actual human beings to just 3/5 of a human so as to increase slave holding states say in selection of our president.

And republicans are of course the obstacle to getting rid of it because it helps them put in the likes of W Bush and trump.
