I hate the mango man but he won both the popular vote and electoral vote. How is that the fault of the system? The Dems put up a losing candidate that polled abysmally when she was running in the original primaries against Biden. To many in the center, the Dems had also swung too far left for their own flavor of progressive ideology. Put those two things together and they didn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning the election.
Edit: Thanks for the downvotes? I'm just stating facts. Kamala was NOT a likeable candidate for many on the left and center, so they simply didn't vote. This led to cheeto in charge winning both the PV and EC. The rest of the world isn't nearly as progressive as most folks on Lemmy.
He won the popular vote this time because people didn't vote. Because there was no viable candidate for the left.
Again thats a problem with democracy. He's not the candidate that the majority of people want. He won because we dont have a democracy
The system is stupid because you only have two parties so if one of them is useless then you're screwed. But that's the voter's fault if they voted for third party candidates and actually organized themselves in such a way that they all voted for the same third party candidate then they could actually achieve something.
