A person can win the Presidency with 23% of the total votes cast, not total number of registered voters. In other words, of the people who actually bothered to cast their vote, there is a not too far-fetched scenario in which the vast majority's choice for President means nothing.

Yes, I've read Fed 10, despite your assumptions to the contrary. Yes, I even understand it, too! I still stand by my prior remarks. There is no faction, as Madison defines it, in this scenario we're talking about. Even if so, it applies to Trump supporters just as well.

Finally, I'm not advocating for "direct democracy" as you suggested in your previous post. I've been referring to the US as a representative democracy, aka republic, which the Electoral system compromises by the Pres. not being truly representative of the people!

Since it seems like you're done taking too much care in truly addressing my argument (i.e. 'just read Fed 10'), I'll sign off. You can have the last word.
