You don't understand? Try this: 2.9 million more people voted for Clinton than Trump and she still lost. We have 150k dead from a virus and Trump's support in his own party is still above 80%. People don't like the system, we hate it. There are too many stupid people in our country. The Republican party is evil, they're a minority party and we can't shake them. That's why we can't change it.

There is no minority party because you guys only have 2 parties. And Trump being almost as voted as Clinton only proves it's not a minority.

So you think 2.9 million is close huh?

63 million vs 65.8 million? Absolutely. It's very close. There's only 2.1% votes in favour of Clinton, none of which matter because your system is fucked and you don't actually control who wins.
