Everything you'll ever need to know about the US election system has been working this whole time.
The self-designated Black Nazi that pretty much *everyone* hated, got 40% of the vote.
The only prediction I'm willing to make: No matter who wins, this is the last time the US has an election like this. Either the system will break down with the death of a party due to populism burning out and the other party having to split to actually have some semblance of a unified base to aim at, or it'll be "fixed so you won't have to vote again."
Whatever ends up replacing this, because it is dying either way, let's hope it's better.
