One of them is definitely the electoral college.
That's why most countries, democracies especially, prefer direct presidential elections.
Anything but blame the Democrats shit candidates huh?
Anything but admit that Russian propaganda is real, huh?

Never said it wasn't, but the democrats have repeatedly feilded candidates no one wanted, we're told no one wanted and still went through with them. They are just as much to blame.
Russian strategy was exactly to perpetuate the idea eveyone hates Democrats and to vote third party or to not vote at all "to protest the system".
You're literally propagating Russian propaganda. It doesn't even matter if it's true. The fact is that it's well known and documented that that is exactly what the Russians kept chanting when they managed to influence the American elections.
So gz either you're brainwashed by Russians or you're actually one. Idk which one is more shameful tbh
And you are denying reality in front you you blinkered idiot
