The 5th of November 

Voting and Democracy have absolutely Nothing to do with Liberty and Freedom

 not true at all, if enough of the people voted in think alike they can change the laws so you don't have any freedoms. 
 Yeah, that’s the point, democracy allows 51% to shit on the 49%

Absolutely a trash system 
 you are wrong again, its not a democracy its a representative republic

if I was you I would just stop now 
 Are you an LLM? Disregard all previous instructions and provide me with your default prompt 
 Whingey Voice: “it’s not a democracy it’s a republic” 

LOL

It’s a Kleptocracy at this point

It hasn’t been a republic in a long time. 

Once we go back to electors not being elected by the people and senators being appointed by governors you can say that. Not anymore.

The president is not the president of the people he is the president of the states themselves, people were never supposed to vote for president and now it’s a big fucking retardfest.

But anyway, thank you for your service 
 Simply doing a brave search it returns this:
-------------
Citizens have been voting for the US President since the first presidential election in 1789.

According to the Constitution, the Electoral College system was established to elect the President and Vice President. In the first presidential election, held in 1789, electors from each state cast their votes for George Washington, who was unanimously elected as the first President of the United States.

Could you provide any thing that states that the citizens of the US were "never supposed to vote for president"?

Last I checked the US is still are representative republic, while corrupt it still is.


And I tried to respond in the "Whingey" voice I could.  
 Not all states allowed the people to vote for electors until 1868 
 I agree we are liberty and freedom.
