.Sen. Elizabeth Warren spoke Tuesday at the Center for American Progress 'Ideas Conference' with other 2020 Democratic presidential contenders and declared that democracy is "crumbling." Other speakers included Senators such as Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Amy Klobachur, Sherrod Brown, and Kirsten Gillibrand.
Warren, relitigating the 2016 U.S. presidential election, said it is not a signal of a "healthy democracy" if a candidate with more 3 million more votes then the opponent is not declared the winner. She said democracy is about "whoever gets the most votes wins."
"In 2016, nearly three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump – but Trump took the presidency. That's not exactly the sign of a healthy democracy. Democracy hangs on the idea that whoever gets the most votes wins," she said.

“We lost, so the system is bad.”
Bingo.
Then let us pass all bills in congress 50 votes in the Senate. And amend Constitution with 26 states.
We’re not a democracy, you stupid fake Injun twat.
What do the tribal elders say?
Hey, Lizzie...we are not a “democracy”, you dim-witted redskin wannabe!
She’s right, it is not a healthy Democracy. Now, someone should inform her that we are Republic limited by a Constitution.
While you’re at it, remind her that she took an oath to uphold it. Maybe she should read it and reconsider her ability to do so.
All those years in college and she doesn’t know we live in a Republic?
What a disingenuous, fake-Indian nitwit. It’s a REPUBLIC, you pin-headed fake-squaw!
O.K. Who’s going to break it to this sitting US senator that we’re a republic not a democracy.
She still hasn’t learned that we live in a representative republic, not a democracy.
The US has never been a “healthy democracy”. Trump hopes to make it a healthy republic.
Guess she doesn’t like the map showing the counties that went for PDJT? If they were to impose “their” idea, LA, NYC, SanFran and a few other major population centers would always pick the winner and FOC would be left on the hind “t”.
Yet another reason why Fauxahontas must never become President of these United States!
Democracy?
My head is beginning to hurt.
-—What do the tribal elders say?-—
“Princess Gray Beaver must never be chief”
The whole point of the Constitution and the Electoral College is to AVOID a democracy.
CITIZENSHIP Democracy:
A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of “direct” expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic—negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy
Maybe chief dishwasher at Pow-wow, but never chief.
