    The U.S.A. is a Republic.  I'm sure, in future history books, this will go down as the most rigged election in history.

    Not yet, nor has the Republic.  The occasional problem is not a failure of the entire system.

    We are in crisis though, and need to keep our eyes open.

    We need campaign and election reform to better align w/ equality, majority rule and reduced corruption. Sophisticating the reform will significantly restore faith in democracy. A republic democracy is necessary to administer gov because it's not feasible for us to vote on everything but the presidential/federal election process should be subject to universal statewide proceedings and popular vote. Every 4 yrs. we see the many flaws.

    No, Democracy has spoken and in Democracy means the person with the most votes leads the country and Trump came second which is first loser.  A country which other parties cannot challenge the ruling party for a chance to rule is called fascism or communism.  Trump was trying to run a fascist country where he was the only one who could rule or make major decisions.  Reminds me of Hitler and Mussolini and he wants to be happy he will survive as neither of them survived the war.

      Accept it Democracy has spoken and Trump lost so get over it.

    Donald "STOP THE COUNT" tRump certainly would like our democracy to fail. But votes are still being counted and that means democracy is still intact.

    On the contrary, recent events show it's working to way it's supposed to.

    No, as the US is not really democratic. A very small number of people (less than 1 %) own and control the way that society and the economy function.

    No - the votes have been cast, in person and by mail, and they're being counted.  

    How can that be a failure?
