I LOVE the technicalities of the “progressist” expecially when they lose a competiton – we call it “mirror climbing”. Mandate, majority, plurality… I am a simple man: USA has an electoral system that allowed Trump to win the elections and return to the White House. Period. The same system brought Obama and Biden to the same White House – there were not so many objections and distinctions about majority and plurality, at the time.Therefore, if the system is obsolete, faulty, whatevere, USA are the Champions of Democracy (in fact they send bombers and troops all over the world to export it) and can change it: if they don’t it means they are happy with it. Period, again. And please stop whining.
With proportional vote you would elect the President with the votes of only California and NewYork. So long to participation of smaller States. USA is not a single Nation, is a federation of States and decision are made with an “almost-democracy” with many compromises and adjustments: the Founding Fathers knew perfectly well what “numbers” alone could mean.The REAL problem for Dems is that Donald won and not Harris, but instead of asking themselves WHY they are desperately searching for someone/something to blame. Mind you, it is the same everywhere: in Italy too the Left (in some way comparable to your Dems) wasted precious time and resources hugging trees and rare insects, organising trans and gay parades and lowering speed limits to snail-leves, and while doing so they “forgot” salaries, unemployment and inflation. Not surpisingly now we have a Right party Government, elected with a smashing majority.
Whatever. Biden and (Holy) Obama were elected with the same election system that elected Trump, had Harris been elected she would have been with the SAME electoral rules. If the President does not represent the voters shame on the people who do not push to change the rules. In France they did a Revolution for similar reasons.You cannot blame the system and the rules only when YOU are the loser – it works both ways. Donald whined with the SAME words when the Dems won.
