Proportional v. Influential representation has always been the problem in the USA.
Hillary was too wishy washy with too many cliché positions where Trump was full of hate and appealing to the disillusioned. It's really that simple. Too many lower middle class Americans made a hail mary play --so far they have fucked up. |
They made the
hail mary play because it was all they had.
As for your voting system, we all know it's fucked up. But they both played by the same fucked up rules and Trump won because so many Americans are full of hate for the status quo. If a more rational candidate had put the much the same policies forward and not alienated the ethnic minorities. They would have won by a landslide.
Most Americans want to see an end to illegal migration, an end to China overtaking the US in economic power, an end to the constant flow of jobs disappearing and being replaced by minimum wage jobs.
