@babelcarp fact is, the US system is much less democratic and much more broken than acceptable... it does not honor the real votes and is too fragil and has to many path's of manipulation. Single persons or a small group can just overrule ~450 Mio people?
This system is not future proof... if its not fixed or trump wins I guess the next "election" is more like in russia, turkey,... a Potemkin village. More a democracy simulation for the TV viewers.
