  Part of the problem is that they had to vote for someone. Representative democracy is a popularity contest. And the orange fuck had a lot of people rigging the popularity game in his favor.

    Isnt…that what democracy is? Unless you want to argue the system is rigged to promote only two parties. But thats not a problem if representative democracy. Thats just the frameworkers attempt to stiffle the majority.

      No, that’s what Representative Democracy is. You can have democracy without representation, where every single individual is responsible for voting not for representatives, but for issues.
