    Yes, our vote does count.

    As American citizens, we vote for our representatives...

    The representative system was set up because we are the United STATES of America. Imagine a pure vote system, where small states like Delaware would have little to no influence on the federal stage...

    That would be disgusting. Please realize that it wasn't set up to screw you over, but to have a valid voting system that both small and large states could agree upon. It's the reason we're a country, and not separate States.

    spot on.

    Hillary got the popular vote, the will of the people. Yet is on the sidelines. The Dem's nomination process is flawed.

    Democracy requires the active participation of its citizens regardless of how complex the actual election process.

    our system is completely rigged anyways

    take voting machines for example... so easy to be tampered with.

    if you think your vote counts you should watch Hacking Democracy... it's a documentary about the voting system... well worth your time.
