M,  Don't fall victim to the electoral college ruse.  First it was the party will never take off, then it will eventually fade, then it was they will never get any votes, and now its the electoral college.  Peaceful change is hard and takes a long time.  If men and women of like mind don't band together and make change happen, then we deserve the country and society we have.  Your last sentence is so Libertarian.  Good luck.
