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.
It's for a temp job anyway.
That's why dictators grin at US presidents. They just wait them out...
Xi will die of old age in that conglomeration of mudbrick villages they call China.
He'll be drooling like a pope before they scoot him to the ditch.
Meanwhile we'll have 7 more presidents...
Please seat yourself.
