Does it matter, if the popular vote doesn’t matter, because ‘that’s the way our system is?’

Will the system fix itself?

Is it possible to obtain accurate results concerning the will of the people, in a broken system?

Does the will of the people matter?

Do you believe you can be an agent of change, or do you believe that you should follow the 'rules'...even if the rules might be wrong? Who are YOU to say the rules are wrong?

Do you think our system of government is broken? If so, what is the reason you, on an individual level, continue to participate in a broken system, one in which your votes aren’t counted, your elected representatives refuse to do their jobs, there is no remedy currently provided for other than to ‘vote,’ where our laws, Constitution, and International law are wantonly disregarded…instead of turning your attention to fixing the system?

From the Declaration of Independence.
