I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the very first door I ever knocked on for any campaign was in 2008 when my dad took 14 year old me with him to canvass for Obama and the guy who answered just said “my vote doesn’t count because of the electoral college” and how it’s fucking insane that he didn’t include a plank in his campaign to revive the Bayh-Celler amendment or something like it. He wouldn’t have even had to run on “the republicans stole the 2000 election” he could’ve just framed it as “hey nobody likes this thing anyway”
