        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.

      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.
