I'm a Canadian Skybird. As for your system, you are right I don't know anything about your system and I have zero interest in it.

Get your math right then. 62,984,828 people voted for Trump.
Quote:
46.9% did not participate in voting.
25.6% voted for Clinton.
25.5% voted for Trump.
2% were "others".

If you knew anything about the US system you would know that those statistics are meaningless. The system doesn't work that way. Every elected polititian in the US, Senators, Represenatives, Governors, Mayors etc are elected by popular vote. The President is not.
Quote:
60% of total population are not represented by any of the two candidates. Amongst those eligible to vote, almost one half refused to participate in voting, and refused to support any of the candidates.
US presidents speak only for minorities of the population, and represent only a small part of it.

And that would be their choice. You can't force people to vote and if you don't vote you shouldn't complain about the people who were elected. Whether you or they like it or not Trump is the President of all Americans.
