Get off Twitter and Facebook. It's ruining your brain as much as it's ruining the brains of the people you hate.

The United States has never been a democracy by design, it's a republic that neither promises nor delivers majority rule, it gives the 40 million voters in California 55 electoral collage votes and Missouri's 6 million 10 votes and Wyoming's 500,000 voters gets the same number of senators as Cali.
It is a system purposefully weighted to give rural and southern voters 3 times as much power as urban North Eastern and west coast voters, that is by no measure a democracy and it has become less democratic by result in the last 30 or 40 years
