Again, no constitution is written in a political vacuum. Would you consider the amount of women currently in congress to be a democratic representation of our population? ****'s never what we want, but all of these people are still voted for democratically.

a pretty small percentage of people actually went out and cast a vote for Trump when you factor in the popular vote loss and those that abstained

Our country has a long and storied history of half the populace staying home on election day. It might even lead one to think that people really don't want any of this democracy business and would rather give up all the responsibility and effort required in remaining informed and deciding the future of an entire country. But they grew up in a country that tells them that democracy and the will of the people is what they want so they think they want it cause why would it occur to them that what they really want is to be led. Who the **** cares who the people voted for tbh?
