Spoilers, dude. :b

that is how many people you will be disenfranchising if the electoral college changes the presidential vote outcome.

Over 60 million voters will be disenfranchised by the electoral college either way.

Thank you for sharing this. This hit home really hard for me. I graduated from college last year and spent this summer bumming it in Europe. I'd traveled quite a bit throughout Latin America before then, so it wasn't a completely new experience. But I met a girl in Germany who was also travelling. It was pretty much like you said - I fell totally head over heels for this girl who never seemed to shy away from any experience or opportunity for adventure. Someone told her she wasn't allowed to go somewhere? She would grab my hand and run past the guard. She pushed me to my limits in a way that I'm always striving to do myself, and it really made the experience for me.

Then I came home and got a job at a non-profit. Living my ideals, doing something that's purposeful...But I still fell into the daily tedium of life. I watched her post pictures of the next few legs of her travels before she eventually, too, came home. (To the other side of the country)

I've never been more miserable. I was unhappy in college, but something about that trip made me really understand and internalize the 'why', which almost makes it worse. I'm like you: I need to wake up each day not knowing what's going to happen. I can't just watch the weeks and months pass by without any new experiences, without having something that gets my heart pumping and makes me uncomfortable. I don't even care where I go as long as it's somewhere new. And she's somehow tied up in that -- I associate her with all those feelings of longing for the open road and just experiencing life. I know that I've built her up in my mind, that she could never live up to my memory of her, that the environment and context were almost as important as the person...But being conscious of it doesn't make it any easier.

Sorry I totally unloaded on your there...I just felt the need to type it out.

What do you do on your computer? Web development?

Can you tell me who the debaters are? Interested to check it out.
