    yes, of course. after all, if a clown is democratically elected in a landslide victory, that clown is representative of everyone that voted them in.

    the cartoonist therefore seems to have forgotten to slap on the clown makeup on all the members of the audience.

      America is only a very small bit democratic. Calling it a democracy is a ridiculous exaggeration. But you’re right that American voters are still clowns for not bothering to use the little bit of power they had.

          We have 7 “presidents” exactly to mitigate a one time fuckup. We definitely have 1 to 3 not very good people there, but since they are 7 and they all have to be in consensus if they do decisions, it is not as bad.
