Of course we do. It is a Representative Democracy, aka a Jeffersonian Republic.

She would have at least taken the job seriously. It would be a full time job to her.

President Pence? Is that really what people wanted?

Really my point was how pathetic it is to compare winning the popular vote by an indisputable margin with a participation trophy. Oh, millions more people like your vision for the country? Well, thanks for playing! We're going to pretend we have some sort of mandate and start fucking over most of the country.

He won't get much done in four years. They are going to write a bunch of bad laws that will likely be unconstitutional anyway.

Congress is complete and utter shit and has been for over a decade. Blanket statement, both sides. Very few senators or congressman i respect. Alan Grayson, Rand Paul, that Castro fellow is young and talented....I like Liz Warren.
