Also remember we, the people, don’t actually elect the president. We merely suggest we would like person X or person Y. Our vote is meaningless for the actual picking.
Regardless of how we vote. Each state picks “electors” who then “elect” our president for us. We don’t get to vote for who the electors are either. So like we have zero voice.
If we could somehow control the electors’s brain to force them to go republican or democrat, then there’s no need for electors. Thus we must assume that the electors do not vote like we would like. Instead, they have their own mind and agenda and vote preference.
But we cannot change this process. So I will keep voting as I do, but I will know that it is mostly bullshit. I would much prefer it if the actual electors could be identified by name and location so ads can get shoved up their ass constantly on their preferred method of communication.
Most states have laws restricting faithless electors in some way, including voiding such votes (which has happened). Though, some lack enforcement mechanisms. The Supreme Court has upheld penalties for faithless electors within the past five years. As a result, it’s vanishingly rare.
It’s still a dumb system that is unrepresentative and relies too much on people just doing the right thing, but this characterization isn’t totally accurate.
In “Mi planta de naranja-lima,” Portuga, whose real name is Manuel Valadares, is a significant character who becomes a father figure to the protagonist, Zezé. Zezé, a young boy dealing with poverty and family issues, meets Portuga when he is caught trying to play with his car. Despite the rough start, they develop a deep friendship. Portuga is deeply moved by Zezé’s sensitivity and imagination, and he becomes a source of kindness and support for the boy
It’s called “o meu pé de laranja lima” and it’s from a Brazilian author, and I suspected you were trolling but now I know for sure. Or else you’re just dumb. Either way bye
I don’t understand how? I literally just saw your handle and remembered that book because it’s usually part of the advanced Spanish classes in highschool. That’s all. I don’t even know who you are or where you’re from. Sorry if you 🤕 hurt.
Well we portuguese don’t appreciate being called spanish or brazilian. Maybe you didn’t mean to. I don’t care much, and I won’t hold a grudge against you. Let’s just forget this

Theoretically. In reality there’s been very few faithless electors and they’ve never been a deciding factor.
Now I understand the US system
Portugal! Donde esta mi plants de naranja Lima?
Well I don’t know if you’re trying to provoke me or something, but confusing portuguese and spanish is a big no no around the iberian peninsula
