    Imo its more nuanced than that.

    If there was only the popular vote, which makes more sense than electorate fuckery, we would have avoided round 1 in 2016.

    The system of political choice is really broken in the US, that was just one example. None of us chose the political system we use, we are presented with limited and similar options for representation every two years in a first past the post vote.

    I agree that we failed to prevent this, but the system is kind of rigged
