    Everyone screaming about democracy just died. In fact it was always dead. Electoral college system basically disregards voter who does not vote for winning party. It’s a system where you have only two choices, thus less competition, thus lower quality of candidates. Then everyone is like “is this best US can do?”. Let alone gerrymandering. People should be rioting, not because Trump won, but because system is not democratic.

      I didn’t create this democracy nor do I endorsed it. I just think as we venture down this road of right wing authoritarianism people like yourself may grow to have an appreciation for what it did offer.
