You make a good point, bro, and I know in the US its a two-horse race (between Democrats and Republicans) but it can be even less than that. It's whatever the largest percentage vote. So say there are 5 candidates and they each get 19% of the vote except one who gets 24%, then he wins, even though he only got 24%. So 24% decide how the other 76% live. And if there are more candidates, then the percentages can be even lower! That is democracy.
