        Did you account for under 18s, non-citizens, or others disqualified from voting? How does that match with only ~155m votes cast?

          YOU said Americans. You didn’t say voters, you didn’t say adults, you didn’t qualify anything.

          See my edit above if you are still wanting to argue this.

          You didn’t say voters, you said Americans. You are trying to say something about all Americans, it seems.

          I will ask again: where are you moving the goalposts to next?

          Edit: for clarity on why I am responding: a very small percentage of Americans wanted this. Our electoral system is shit. When you say a large percentage of Americans wanted this you are not only incorrect, but you are giving a mandate to a man who doesn’t have one.

            I didn’t say anything to you previously about this topic. YOU SAID

            There are over 300M Americans. How many voted for this?

            I answered your question and corrected your math. How many VOTED for this.
