My sister:
Who decide, who shall be the President ?
Me:
The American voters
My sister:
Yes I understand that, but Hillary got 1-2 million more votes, so why did Trump win.
Me:
This has to do with the American voting system and they way USA is constructed(politically).
Me continuing:
Remember each state is in a way independent and in a Presidential election you could say there's an election in the election-each state have an election where the voters decide who they like to be their President(Rep or Dem).
The candidate who gets most vote in a state gets depending on state size and how many who live in this state a certain numbers of Electors.
My sister:
Who have decided it should be Joe-Joe Biden who shall be the Presidential candidate for the Democrats.
Me:
About a year before the Presidential election in Nov. The opposition party(Rep or Dem) hold several election meeting where all the Rep/Dem candidate campaigning for being their Presidential candidate-This is done until there is only one left-In this case Joe Biden(Dem).
(Hope I didn't tell here something totally wrong thing)
