FPTP with the electoral college makes my vote count for nothing voting in a solid red or blue state. I despise this fact. Elections only really focus on swing states and thus swing states have undue influence.

The point of the election is not that you get to decide the election, it's that the nation collectively decides the election.

"The nation" isn't just swing states.

Sure. That's why California has 55 electoral votes.
