> its hard for a foreign nation to buy an entire electorate

You sure? According to the US government, a few hundred thousand dollars on Facebook ads was enough to buy a US President (c.f Trump, Donald J).



The US was one of the countries I was talking about that intentionally undermined their own democracy.

Did Trump win the popular vote? Would he have had any chance in a proportional voting system? Or if you had to vote? (He himself says no Republican could be elected if people could easily vote). Who made that possible and why?


No. No. No. The constitution, state, and county voting laws.
