If your politicians don't represent the people, what the heck are they doing?

Or, why do your people still vote for them?

Because the party that most people don't vote for have become exceedingly adept at gaming the system.

Then do something about it.

But your other party won't change it either, because they use the same loopholes.

Our democratic process is heavily flawed. The electoral college distorts the relative power votes so that less populated states have more power.

Also, less than half of eligible adults vote, and those that do are disproportionately conservative boomers.

Only about 20% of the population voted for trump. Everyone else either didn't care, didn't think he could win, or didn't want him to win.

The problem is that the non-Trumpers care to little to go to the voting booths.
