    The pivotal moment in American history was at some point in the 1970s. We’re experiencing the effects of bad decisions made 50 years ago. Sanders winning in 2016 was our last chance. Biden will never be a progressive. We need our votes to actually matter. We need ranked choice voting or STAR voting, and we need to end the electoral college, popular vote now. I’m cynical at this point. I’ve accepted the idea that things will need to get worse before meaningful change occurs, which has been happening regardless of what I believe anyway.

      Maybe a Trump win via Electoral College will snap some sense into the majority to finally do away with it.
