2020, situation in the country? Joseph Biden is declared the President of the USA. But the fact is that no matter who the bizarre electoral system of the United States has appointed as president, it is obvious that more than half of Americans will be against this person.
It's about simple arithmetic.
66.9 percent of Americans took part in the elections. The votes are still counting, but it is already clear that about half of them chose Biden, half - Trump. And another third of Americans did not come to the polls at all. About eighty million voters did not want to participate in the democratic process. The phenomenon of non- voting voters attracted the attention of sociologists in the US back in the winter. As a result of polls, it turned out that elections are regularly ignored by 33 to 65 percent of citizens. In other years, up to a hundred million Americans do not want to exercise their constitutional right to elect representatives of government.

after the news of the victory in the presidential election of the Democratic Party candidate Joseph Biden The disappointment of Americans refusing to vote is only a reflection of the country's general decline. “Despair is killing us, eating away at the fabric of social life, destroying relationships, and incarnating itself in a series of self-destructive and aggressive perversions,” writes the famous journalist Chris Hedges on the pages of the influential pro-democracy Internet resource Salon.com.
