Ok. I'll take it back to the origin of my point cause apparently you're too young to understand. He wants to vote trump to spite the electoral college.

Here's the thing. I don't see how that's spiteful to them. It's just a vote they count that has zero affect on them. Especially in a state like New York where it's guaranteed to be a left wing state. So where is the malicious intent?

If this is too ambiguous of a concept for you to understand, you might be a Trump supporter.

You're an idiot. It doesn't matter if they see it or not. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking is how it's spiteful to vote for someone you disagree with is spiteful to the electoral college. I don't give a fuck if the establishment notices. That has nothing to do with anything. And if you can't see that, then you're an idiot.

Oh **** my bad here I answered that already too.

English is hard and you might not know what all of this means so here:

Minority rights means that those who did not vote with the majority have their voice heard. With the winner take all system (which means that all of the votes in the electoral college for that state go with what the majority votes for, as opposed to doing the electoral college votes proportionally with the popular vote), the states with a sure right or left popular vote render the minority's voice meaningless. So voting against your interest is spiteful because it doesn't matter how you'll vote either way when it's always such a sure thing. In the rare event that Trump wins NY, it'll also give Trump supporters their just deserts. I'll let DJ confirm what his point is before going on.

Oh, and don't call other members idiots por favor. Mostly because it only makes you look like someone who's incapable of rational debate, but also because it's against the rules.

By that logic then you're only being spiteful to yourself by throwing your vote away. You end up going to the polls and wasting your time just tp make you're vote meaningless. Seems like being spiteful towards yourself.

Nope, I'm not being spiteful to myself. Is this your first year voting kiddo?

You know there are other things to vote on the ballot besides presidential candidates right?

And Frownland hit the nail on the head with his last post. He understood what I meant the first time I said it.

I hope people will embrace this concept. There is nothing more important then voting in local and state elections.

First night of the RNC was a total bust. I love it.

Totally 1000% planned and executed for media whoring. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump campaign was the one who wrote the press release drawing the comparison.

Precisely my thoughts on it. It's not a coincidence. It was planned.
