I wonder why people think "the wrong guy won".

This is not a new occurrence in US presidential elections. So I don't think this is a factor in the current "flawed democracy" narrative.

You do know we have a Senate and a unique system of voting? Did you know that in none of those European countries that have a parliament did the common people vote for their Prime Minister? Does that infuriate you even more?

I was providing you evidence of why people might think that. I am not a stakeholder in this conversation so I'm not sure what your "infurate" comment is meant to provoke.
