Why would people downvote this, seriously?

Was it too close to criticism of the EU, why is that even an issue for some people?



I don't know about downvoting, but want to point out that the US presidential election is actually indirect.

The President of the USA is elected by the members of the Electoral College. The voting population votes electors into that Electoral College.

The expectation is that the electors vote for who they said they would, but there have been "faithless electors".
