    Let’s be fair, we didn’t “come together and choose him.” Most of us didn’t want him. Most of the people who voted didn’t vote for him. But, due to a quirk in our system, he won anyway.

      yeah, this is the kind of outcome that would cause everyone at a family game night to enthusiastically review and amend the rules.

        I always found the discussion around the fact that Trump didn’t win by popular vote moot. Of course the US election system needs an overhaul, but he still won 46% of people’s votes. That in itself is a point to be majorly concerned about, it should never have come that far.
