You do know not all of us voted for him, not even a majority. You could argue the non-voters allowed this outcome. Should we discard the whole democracy thing because we don't like a result?

I lament that there wasn't a stronger candidate running against him, but the Democrats didn't have a primary, and even if they did, I'm an independent and do not vote in primaries ( this has changed in Colorado thankfully). A different, stronger candidate could have likely beaten Trump

Democracy means that you bear collective responsibility for the government you voted for, regardless of the choices of the individual.

I disagree and don’t see where you get that from. Why would that be the case?
