We are an oligarchy masquerading as a democracy. You get two choices, both selected for you by the ultra wealthy and both beholden to them over all else.
Further, the presidency has never in this country been decided democratically, and that was by design. The poor and minorities were never intended to have any meaningful electoral power, and they don’t.
I remember the last time a Republican began his presidency with the popular vote. It was during the Cold War. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court is run by folks who find the 1970s a bit too futuristic. It was exhausting and depressing when I used to hope we’d make it out. I’m liberated but exhausted and bereaved.
The word is inconsequential.

President is elected by very much minority. About 1%.
The president is elected by the wealthy. The minority has nothing to do with it.
Wealthy people are minority. Or maybe there are hundreds of millions of billioners I didn’t know about?
That’s true in the literal sense, but the word ‘minority’ has a very different connotation in this country.
