Diary of a Madwoman

This madwoman, a 40-something mom of two children, is here to tell you a thing or two about life when you're an overweight, perimenopausal (she has pills for when she laughs too hard, cream for when hair grows where it shouldn’t and patches to prevent hot flashes and aggravation.) She’s claustrophobic, agoraphobic, insomniatic, diabetic, stubborn anxious, hypothyroid, chronic sinusitis, allergenic, Fibromyalgia, asthmatic, migraine queen with two kids (both teens, one with special needs), four INDOOR dogs, a Cockatoo, two ferrets, a husband and PMDD. Why tell you all of this? TO make you feel better of course!

Why do we Vote?

Even if a State’s majority vote is for, say…candidate A. But the electoral votes go to…candidate B., then why do we vote?

Same for this year-long pre-President contest for Democrats and Republicans. The majority of a State votes for candidate B. But, the delegate and super-delegate votes go to candidate A. Again, why do we vote?

I think that the whole election process needs to be revamped. I think that our INDIVIDUAL votes should count. Not electoral and super-delegate votes.

Here’s the problem

If it was all just one-vote in elections, national elections would only care about California, New York, Florida and Texas. No one in most of the country would be given the time of day, because all a candidate would need would be these uber states to win. Regardless of how disenfranchised you feel now, try and imagine how little your vote would mean without these delegates and the Electoral College.
