I’m not a fan of my vote not mattering at all because my state is solidly one color or another. Meanwhile rando’s in Pennsylvania matter immensely, and it’s largely just a race to see which side can rally enough people from either the city or the surrounding areas to go to the polls.
- ajmurmann 4y agoThat's also why complaining about voter turnout in the US is at best annoying and worst dishonest. In most states, including some of the larger ones, it wouldn't change the outcome at all if 100% voted. It's actually surprising that turnout is as high as it is.

- kristiandupont 4y agoDoesn't "rando" just mean "random person"?
- RhysU 4y agoIt is pejorative.
- oneoff786 4y agoAgainst whom? A person who could be randomly selected?
- RhysU 4y agoTo elaborate: Suppose I said, "Your [loved one] is a rando." That clearly is a negative statement implying that their behavior is irrational (i.e. random). Urban Dictionary has an entry starting "an unpredictable, awkward and often creepy individual..."
- oneoff786 4y agoUrban dictionary is not an authoritative source but even that one doesn’t agree with you. Number one definition is “a random person or thing”. The one You referenced is almost net negative votes. Your example sentence is just not a semantically correct way to use the word. All of which is pretty pointless because you’re arguing an alternate semantic interpretation vs me, the person who used the word and is stating that’s not what was intended.
- oneoff786 4y agoThe presence of rando’s is not my problem with the situation… obviously?
