Then the national "Establishment"/Elite did not want him and yet he still won, despite being outspent 1.5-1 I believe and having the entire mainstream media against him. The people have the power - democracy works. As I said last night, if you want universal suffrage, you have to live with and embrace all its implications.

Right but people need leaders. Not everyone is meant to lead and most are meant to follow. In-grouping and alpha dominance has been engrained in our DNA. People are still animals apart of this kingdom.
Newspapers print for an average reading level of grade 8, maybe grade 10 for some papers. The average IQ is 100 and nearly 1/5th of Americans don't even graduate from high school. You don't want the "people" being the voice because the people need to be led.
If history has taught us anything is that people will overhunt and over harvest until they risk their own livelihood, over-exploit, and care only for themselves as individuals over the betterment of mankind.
Americans today chose a platform based on building walls, deporting Muslims, removing women's choice, and otherwise hate. They chose that over a women who talked about equality for all Americans. The people didn't win. They're just too stupid to know better
