The common sense "Trump has been elected" survival guide

4. This Is Why We Have Elections.

Here is how it works in America—but not the entirety of the rest of the world, we get that. So it won’t be true in Cuba, though we know you tend to esteem what the Castros and Che Guevara established there. We govern each other “by reflection and choice,” as Alexander Hamilton put it. We have a system by which our presidential candidates know the rules in advance, rules that were hammered out a bit over 200 years ago. And citizens over age 18 get to vote for the electors in their state who best represent their candidate and points of view. The rules protect all of us, and they were written so that one state and or one region could not and would not dictate national policy for everyone else.

We will always have a minority rule. The only way to have majority rule would be to have more than half the country pack themselves into the House and unanimously vote for each individual topic. I'm going to go with minority rule instead.

You poor thing. Your cries are pathetic.
