Trump is president; Who is to blame?

[Pat Mustard]

The USA is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. It was designed to avoid the concentration of power in a centralized body or dense pockets of influence.

Actually Wooters you are wrong, but then again that's nothing new for you. The reason why the US electoral system is largely modelled on that of the Roman Republic (before they had to give into the plebs sordida and give them the tribunate) is to concentrate power into a small and dense pocket of influence, that of rich old white men. That is why the Senate is undemocratic, why the Presidential election undemocratic, why electoral officials are political offices and so on all the way down to the people who refuse your right to vote because you are black and you spelt your name slightly differently to what's on your birth cert.
