Buhari represents a large part of the Nigerians in the Northern states.
Trump represents a large part of Americans and so does Biden.
Democratic leaders are a representation of a significant percentage of their people. If you see an awful elected leader, then there's an awful large population that voted them in.
- femiagbabiaka 3y agoHave you looked at voting participation in Nigeria and America? These claims don't stand up to the data. Presidents represent certain small, usually-but-not-always radicalized, portions of a country, especially in FPTP/runoff systems.
- boeingUH60 3y ago> In the national popular vote, Biden received 81.2 million votes and Trump received 74.2 million votes - https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_election,_2020 https://ballotpedia.org/Presidential_election,_2020. In a country with 166 million registered voters [1] and over 90% of them voting for one of these two. Yeah, they represent a big part of the population. Similarly, in Nigeria, Buhari represented the region with the biggest population, which is also the dumbest, most illiterate, poorest, and most corrupt. Not surprising their man was a dunce too. 1- https://www.statista.com/statistics/273743/number-of-registered-voters-in-the-united-states/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/273743/number-of-registe...
