Let us be clear: The USA is not a democracy. In 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016, the loser of the popular vote won the presidency. In what world does the loser of a popular vote become president? Not in a democratic world.
The minority interests have always ruled in this country and will obviously continue to rule in a system where representation is manipulated and does not reflect the demographics. Our choice this year between pest and cholera shows us the sickness of a system run by demented or sick old men. The two-party system only produces winners and losers. It is time to get rid of the Electoral College and to break the power of the two parties. A choice between a criminal, narcissistic ignoramus and a well-meaning but floundering dotard is no choice at all.
