  1. Well he showed America why EACH and EVERY vote matters
  2. The consequences of ONE poor decision /indecision on one's part
  3. How one appreciates the good poorly, until the real bad arrives
  4. Why America is actually great. Not because of screw-ups like him, but because of its citizens.

Disclaimer: I am not an American, I am from a fucked up nation where the vast majority is MAGA equivalent. This is why I have come to love how the people of America have reacted and their understanding and clarity which my unfortunate nation lacks.

We aren't even in the news because our's is at the fine threshold were we overstep the boundaries a lot but not too much at a time - so it doesn't show. Those who may rise above their own turmaoil to pay even the slightest attention can see it easily, but we are a nation just in the background and the view is blurred by the upheaval of the rest.

Plz do not ask me which. You might guess correctly or incorrectly and I will not answer.

but because of its citizens.

You mean the same people that have elected Trump twice now?

The people said no the first time. It was a bullshit law from 1929 that broke our electoral system and placed him in office

The electoral college dates to far before 1929.

Regardless, pretending Trump doesn't represent the American public is cope at best.

I know. It was the permanent arbitrary capping of the number of house seats/electors that caused the system to get completely fucked up. We should have 3x the number by now as population has tripled since then. This is what has caused the major imbalance in voice power voter in small states vs large, which keeps getting worse.

He represents a minority, not the whole. That's the issue. He's approaching Nixon post resignation levels of disapproval. Pretending that the majority of Americans are represented by that is idiotic
