    these people’s vote counts just as much as anyone else’s.

    Not true for Americans. How much your vote counts is based on which state you live in due to the Electoral College

      Yup. In most cases, these people’s votes count more than the rest of ours.

        It’s devastating. I lived in the US for several years and it’s just so sad to know that there are so many sane and kind and progressive people who are denied their peaceful lives by a loud and armed minority (backed by a lot of money and corporate interests).

      And also the amount of money you can funnel through lobbyists.
