Liam,
Have you forgotten that in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton decisively won the popular vote over Donald Trump? He won only because of the Electoral Collage.
I didn't forget, in fact, that's why I put that video on the Electoral College. It explains why in all honesty, it's possible that the masses voting doesn't really matter.
In all reality, the USA political system is a Oligarchy. But the Political leaders, the media, and the Educational system, con the masses into believing it's a true Democracy. It's not a true Democracy, it's an Oligarchy.
Oligarchy; is a conceptual form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.
