Yes its a some kind of democracy but not true, I get it, we all know US is electoral system but.
unlike the British system for example where
majority of the seats won by a party form government.
but in the US you are voting for a person, majority of 'We The People' want a particular person to be president.
in this case means that the people's choice didn't count and lots of votes were just total waste.
Every country in the world with presidential system is MOST votes per person that counts,
majority.
Although the US is a de-facto 2 party / 2person race but you can have 10 parties, 10 candidates if you want to ,
(If you can, if you can raise Millions of $$$s that is ).
And again, you can have 5 candidates with more votes then an eventual winner, so minority's choice becomes a president ?
Just a reminder that true democratic countries use run off election system until someone gets 50% +1 vote,
Majority of the country's votes, very simple.
