You’re no psychologist which has been proven time and time again through your replies but I do get entertainment from winding you up. Entertainment doesn’t equate to happiness it’s just the cherry on the top.

Taking the bait once again.
It was supposed to be pseudo-intellectuallish, but i knew you would take it.
When have i claimed to be psychologist? I would hate the job.
The fact that you keep taking obvious baits/jokes seriously to have something to hold against me doesn't show out to be chilling.
Use something serious i actually believe in and see if we could actually find something we agree on :)
Well, i'm going to do my last bits of bupre now, then i'll go next to my imagination woman and we'll watch some Sopranos.
You'll have to entertain yourself from now on, i'll be back later.
Best regards - DMW

Who’s really taking the bait though? Enjoy the company of Pamela.

She won significantly more of the popular vote than Trump. Therefore she represented more of the voting American populace. I am American and British; I know how the electoral system works. I also think said system is fundamentally flawed and we need to implement ranked voting, eliminate the electoral college, use paper ballots and establish voting as a duty (as they do in Australia, with time off to vote).

Trump got 46% of the popular vote, not 23%. Even so Hillary won by 4 million votes. I 1000% agree with abolishing the electoral college and implementing raked voting, the electoral college made sense back in the day when ballots had to be hand-counted, but these days it's easy to determine who the popular vote went to. The electoral college is the tool by which the 2-party dominant system is able to maintain dominance. I can't even tell you how many people didn't vote for a third party candidate because they knew their vote wouldn't matter. So again and again, we vote for what we consider the lesser of 2 evils. If it was purely popular vote and we had ranked voting, then people could vote for who they truly believed in, and feel (justly) that their vote actually mattered. And they could vote for second place, third place, etc.

Agree. I like your unbiased comment.
What i have read, the limit of parties who can go for presidental runs is decided by democrats and republicans, some association. They both benefit from it. Don't remember name of it, but it's corrupt.
But america isn't democracy. It's a constitutional republic and few big cities having huge power wouldn't be good neither, which would be popular vote.
Smaller states could be forgotten.
I think less power to federal government and more to states would give each people of state people most power.
Of course there could be many parties and based on % of votes parties would get reprensation.
