You make a good point. In fact, New York and California matter very much.  But there wishes do not have more merit than anywhere other state.  Let me explain:  The electoral college works as it is designed to work - to force candidates to campaign and develop policies that the vast majority of voters can get on board with.  Obama did that twice.  HRC couldn't do it twice (losing to Obama in the primaries and Trump in the general election).  So while NY and CA count they are not the be all end all.  Look, Trump won 84% of the 3,000+ counties in the US and HRC won 16% of the 3,000 counties.  Should America be governed by someone who won so few counties.  Even Obama won 22% of the counties in his second term.  

So I call "fake comment" on your your assertion that that US is not a democracy.  In fact, it is very much a democracy that works extremely well.

Good day sir or madam, whichever the case may be.
