  1. It makes more sense for local elections, like there's a majoritary system vs proportional, and we in Ukraine have mixed for parliament: like half members win a seat when they have most votes in a district, and half of them because their party secured X number of seats due to proportional voting and they go by party lists. UK has a horrible winner takes all for their parliament system so Tories managed to get 90% of seats while having 55% of votes. HOWEVER, with presidential elections none of that is needed, as it's easy to ONLY accept one who has over 51% and never less, and if no candidate achieved MAJORITY vote, you hold the second tour between two leaders where undecided voters pick one of two (with no spoiler candidates or write-ins) so someone is getting over half and hence, a mandate from the majority. It's very simple, look French presidential elections for good example where first 4 candidates got over 20 and less than 30 percent yet the winner had 51+ thanks to run-offs. Also USA is weird as convicts can't vote unless they're rich so nobody arrested tRump for voting while having 34 felonies while black women doing the same get like 15 years in prison for not knowing they were stripped their right to vote for no reason.

  2. In Europe we simply have second tours where president is whoever gets 51% (i.e. Poroshenko in 2014), if nobody breaks the barrier it the first round (i.e. 2019), second tour is between two leaders, so whoever gets most is almost always guaranteed to get 50+, that way nobody who wins does so with less than MAJORITY supporting them. That's how Zelenskyy got from less than 50% in first round to 73% landslide in second round, nobody ranked order of preference, just picked one of the two NOW adding undecided and third, fourth, fifth etc. candidate supporters having a chance to pick between winner and runner-up. And one with more support wins.

  3. There's no way Founding Fathers would allow slaves and worse... women... to vote. They were extremely racist cavemen with zero idea of human rights. Child rаріst Jefferson would have had a heart attack seeing a mixed race woman as a candidate.

  4. Switzerland is blocking military aid to Ukraine while quadrupling export to russia. You're not in a position to brag with how your country has the most backwards genocide enabling laws in western Europe.

  5. Don't worry I am in Ukraine, and Google has been telling ME to vote for tRump this entire day, like biggest search engine in the world put WORLDWIDE sponsored ads for one candidate during the day normal countries BAN political agitation (usually a whole week). They wasted money on serving ads to people who, if voting in USA, would never pick the kremlin muppet anyway.
