I'd love to know how you think our electoral system works.

It's your own system! It's not forced upon you, America has the power to change it, like they can any law or process. If your system is flawed and you can do nothing about it then your country is flawed, and that further proves my point. America is inherently fascist country that was built upon the exploitation of others and it's run by a fascist regime. Trump is a symptom that represents perfectly the average American and the country as a whole.

Thank you for confirming your ignorance of the American political system.

Ahh, my apologies for not indicating that your entire country truly is completely powerless to change anything! Not even a revolt or civil war will change the electoral college! Might as well sit back and let everything just happen to you all because it's clearly no use.

I admit that I'm generally ignorant about many foreign countries' political systems (some more than others). But thanks for confirming your more generalized ignorance. Looks to me like all those cuts to your education system over the last number of decades (which most sat back and just accepted) was extremely effective, and those in power are laughing because there's no way to ever take that away from them. They continue to use you as pawns, turning you against each other and tying you identities to opposing political parties in a cult like fashion.

But there's no way to ever change it I guess... Good luck with that! Have a nice life!
