In my opinion the whole reason people think it's fraud is because a lot of voters seems to think we're in a direct democracy and have no understanding whatsoever what a representative democracy is, what Electorate College is and what purpose it serves. Seriously, stop a random person on the streets and ask them. Everything else is just adding fuel to the fire.
- EdHominem 10y agoIf they think it's a fraud, they're by definition correct. The system is supposed to represent them and if they don't feel a representative democracy (hah!) does, who's to tell them otherwise? The plain fact of the matter is that the representative system was implemented for two reasons 1) necessity in a pre-industrial society 2) to actually limit the power of the people. The fact that #2 was intended to make us safer (avoid a tyranny of the masses, etc) doesn't change the fact that our government is intended not to listen to our opinions.
