Assume we have three candidates that won the following percentage of votes:

Candidate A: 32%
Candidate B: 30%
Candidate C: 38%

So candidate C wins. But 32% + 30% = 62%. So that means 62% of society didn't want candidate C and only 38% did. That doesn't seem much like a majority rules outcome. Though I understand we don't have a pure democracy, we have a republic. Be that as it may, even as a republic and with an electoral college, the mathematical outcome will always be the same. 

I guess no electoral system is perfect.
We are programmed binary.  China is Uniparty. I guess Russia is too.

Ross Perot assured a Clinton Victory. So perspective on damage is back to a two side thing..

Israel has many parties, rank choice voting, and multiple run offs.. I like the idea, but Bibi has stayed in power for 30 years.. I think California  has this system..



I am guessing  you saw the Verisatium video on mathematically impossible democracies? It is interesting. 

Nothing is perfect.  It's  all reception of perception..
