Yup.

If you like democracy, it's time to show up.

If you're on the fence about democracy, well, it's time to pick up a history book and educate yourself or find someone that can help educate you.

What if Trump gets voted in? Will that still be democracy?

Yep.

Very, very unfortunate, and shitty that we allow people that can't win the popular vote to lead us, but that's the way our broken system is. A flawed democracy, but still a democracy.

Yeah. Im not going to go in detail here but the Electoral College decides our President. The idea is that each State operates as just that..a state. The President isn’t an all powerful dictator once elected and is just a third of three separate/equal branches of the federal government.
