      That’s an abysmal low turnout of 64.1%, first-past-the-post screwed America once again.

      You didn’t say voters, you said Americans. You are trying to say something about all Americans, it seems.

      I will ask again: where are you moving the goalposts to next?

      Edit: for clarity on why I am responding: a very small percentage of Americans wanted this. Our electoral system is shit. When you say a large percentage of Americans wanted this you are not only incorrect, but you are giving a mandate to a man who doesn’t have one.

        I didn’t say anything to you previously about this topic. YOU SAID

        There are over 300M Americans. How many voted for this?

        I answered your question and corrected your math. How many VOTED for this.

        Yup, first-past-the-post, red states purging votes, voter intimidation, corporate media and the electoral college nannied Donald Trump into power a second time.
