But see that's a complex thing here because not all votes are taken equally, due to the electoral college. This is literally the one country were you can claim your vote doesn't count depending which state you live in.
I guess that's the point of many. If you put aside the fact he won, the system here pretty much allowed him to without him being the popular and actual winner vote wise.
Trump himself complained about the electoral college saying it wasn't fair... until he won of course... then its the best thing ever...
Anyway more over Clinton lost the undecided people and the stupid leftist Sanders supporters trying to be clever by claiming "if it wasn't Sander then no one for them".
Also there were some conservative righties who voted for Obama the last time that probably switched back.
That and the Dems thought they had 95% of the Latin vote sewn up and they lost a few more of those.
Yes mate, I get how it works - but the problems don't matter when the people choose to adopt the system for voting and work with it. They then accept it as the result, as long as it works as intended.
We have the FPTP system over here - it's similarly "unfair" but it is the system we use, so the country as a whole has to stand behind the decision. Otherwise there is anarchy.
So when I say the USA elected Trump, I mean the country as a whole, because they all participated. Therefore, I don't feel sorry for the country as a whole - I only feel sorry for those who didn't vote for Trump.
