How is any of this “chosen” when everything is gerrymandered and rigged?
Our biggest fault was being the frog who stayed in the water while it was heating up. We have just slowly been giving up freedoms with a little fuss but not enough to matter. We need to learn to say no firmly and with conviction.
Gerrymandering doesn’t exist in your presidential election.
The majority of Americans supports - or at the very least is neutral towards - Trump. You can blame this on a lot of factors such as misinformation and lack of education but this doesn’t change the general attitude.
Something like 49% of eligible voters voted for Trump. And many eligible voters don’t vote. So no, factually, you are incorrect. A lot of people here are too poor to give a shit about politics and are completely unengaged.
People who don’t vote either cannot vote due to discrimination or don’t vote because they are neutral towards the winner:
Overall, 10% of Americans are what we call Bystanders, or the politically disengaged, according to Pew Research Center’s Political Typology report. None of this cohort say they’re registered to vote, and none say they follow government and public affairs most of the time.

Lol what do you think the electoral.college is???
The electoral college has bias towards states with lower populations but it’s not gerrymandering.
Gerrymandering is specifically drawing district borders to guarantee victory with a minority of votes.
The US presidential election would be gerrymandered if some states decided to go through mitosis to get more electoral votes for their party.

If you don’t care about politics, you are not opposed to Trump.
Anyone downvoting you is an idiot. This is exactly the situation the American people have been in.
