The Faults In The System : You See It When You Lose
So, at the point of me starting this piece, I'm watching the polls coming in for the US 2016 elections and it seems fairly evident that Donald Trump will be the next president. And by this point, he is. Yeah. Fuck!
Now, the google search for the definition of "Democracy" says, 'a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives'. And what the 'majority' elect, is what everybody else has to agree to as well. Now, by mathematical understanding, if 100 is representative of everyone possible, 51 constitutes a majority. But does that mean that if the remaining 49 don't agree, is it still a fair system? Let's put some approx population numbers to put it into perspective, focussing on USA.
If the total population in a country that is eligible to vote stands at 200 million. 110 million people vote one way, which is something that the remaining 90 million are not in favor of at all. So, those 90 million people can go fuck themselves because the other 110 million won the 'majority'? I'll let that sink in.
Now, back to the US election, I'll admit, that no matter who wins on those margins of 'majority', it's not necessarily fair to the side who lost. And yes, I'm saying this now, because a piece of shit like Donald Trump is winning the majority number of votes across the US. In the middle states where the people, for a number of reasons, voted if not for Trump then for their team that he is leading. The two-party system is also just as responsible for results such as this, that forces people to vote for their team, Republic or Democratic, no matter who's leading it. Man Utd fans will always be Man Utd fans no matter who's the manager or who they sign. It's a bit like that, or that's how I'm trying to understand it.
Point is, the current democratic election system is deeply flawed, and you only notice it when you lose, and the only reason I can see why this system has been the popular choice, is because it is the easiest and most basic form of democratic governance that can be implemented on the scales of the countries as of today, and will be accepted by all levels of the low average IQ of any population of a large country.
The US was representative of the good life, maybe because of the biased but liberal media, and the entertainment outlets, but still, it has been the country of hope for billions of people across the globe. Now, Donald Trump's presidency is hard to imagine and is just as painful too. But for America, it's a broken country, but there are enough good people there who now will work overtime to fix what needs to be fixed and try their best to keep the insanity of their next president to a minimum. Don't forget, there also exists a mechanism to impeach the elected president should things turn sour enough.
It may look bleak, it may leave you broken, it may look beyond saving. But to every single person, trying to live their own life in peace and safety, do not despair, do not give up hope, don't stop trying, keep doing what you need to and little by little, make your life and of those close to you, better.
