I mean….. no. Not really. 50% (more than) of the country would need to vote en masse for the same person.
Don’t get me wrong, I agree that if we could get that level of unity we’d be able to fix everything. But not being that unified is why we can’t in the first place.
Why would more than 50% need to vote for the same person when the last few elections have been won with around 37.5% of the vote?
Because the electoral college is what needs to have a majority, not the general election.
Because the electoral college is broken.
