if more people voted for Trump than Biden, then - as crap as that is - it’s still democracy?
By the time it’s all done, Biden will have roughly 5m votes more than Trump.

But in this instance, what people are angry about is that Trump is trying to stop legitimately cast votes from being counted, because he knows if they’re counted, he’ll lose.

The US is turning into a banana republic in front of our eyes... so yeah, people are “moaning”
 
People who are saying at this stage Trump has it are irresponsibly being defeatist. There's millions of mail-in votes left to count, and it's generally accepted that those are mostly Democrats that's why Trump has spent so many months pushing this nonsense mail-fraud conspiracy and why he wants it wrapped up now. It's like going through on away goals but demanding the whistle be blown when the opposition run through for a 1 v 1 to snatch it.

It's far from over.

well that’s outrageous. How will he be able to stop those votes getting counted?
 
Looking like Biden will win the popular vote by ~5m

A broken, broken system

It's not though. There needs to be an element of local to any election or it effectively says local issues don't matter. To most voters, local issues matter most.

The problem is the weighting of votes under the electoral college, not the electoral college itself.

And of course he's stacked the SCOTUS in his favour to decide.

That said I don't think it'll matter, it looks like he's going to win regardless.
