Sadly it wasn’t exactly wholly undemocratic. It wasn’t even what you could call close. There were attempts voter suppression and intimidation, but in the end voter apathy won out. I don’t think there’s anything dumber than choosing not to vote in such an important election, but that choice in itself was a vote.

Yeah, I don't mean that this election was rigged or anything, I just mean that the US presidential election isn't really the combined will of every single American. Other countries have more democratic systems. Even the house races are more democratic.
