Do you vote separately for your president in the US?
In Germany we vote for Parliament, whoever receives a majority of votes then gets the governmental mandate and their candidate becomes chancellor. Many people thought there never would be any other chancellor than from either the “social” democrats (SPD) or “christian” conservatives (CDU/CSU, also just called “Union”), until 2021 when the Green Party got so good in surveys we suddenly had three official candidates.
I do know about the “electorial college” nonsense, just asking what exactly the votes are aimed to be for, government or specifically the president.
