I'd disagree, after all a democracy is one vote per person. And it surely looks like they've voted against what you thought was the better choice.

In that sense, you have to have some pretence about why you disagree. You mentioned it was something along the lines of people thinking about a 'mighty dollar', but that seems conflationary.

Saying it's a nonsensical vote in a two party race is a bit off.

I suppose a democracy could elect a leader that promises to destroy it (hypothetically). The voters have no obligation to protect it.

Yes. In Scotland where we have devolution from the UK government, there is a party that wants to dissolve the parliament that campaigns to be elected to that parliament. Just democracy.
