      how is it not how democracy works? did i say percentage of the country’s voters? and if youre implying that democracy means majority gets power then youre not very well informed on american democracy bc america has the electoral college where even a majority of ppl voting a certain way could be not enough

        In most places the two are the same and assumed to be the same.

        I realize that this is not the case in USA and I also realize that America voting is very complicated

        What we then can agree on is that American democracy is not democratic witch maybe makes it even more depressing
