Hillary did win the popular vote; technically America did choose Hillary Clinton, who would not have the beacon of light some say she would've been, but she would've been a better choice than Trump, by far.
Not arguing semantics, simply pointing out that the US isn't democratic.
Um yes we are. It is just one party that doesn't want to play fair. The GOP has gerrymandered and deregulated since Reagan, but that does not mean we cant get back to the sane post WW2 policies that were more fair to workers.
We do have voting, and we have checks on power, but it is still up to the population to participate to insure those things work, even if not perfectly, we are still far better than dictatorships and theocracies.
Right now we have allowed too much power to our top earners, but that does not mean it has to stay that way.
