Off-Topic Madness

[Emplate]

I'm once again a bit confused about how USA understands the concept of democracy. The way I see it, democracy should base on the majority's decision. As in, if you want the people to make the decision regarding a matter or an office, you should have at least two, but preferably more options/candidates/whatever of which they can pick the one they feel is the best. The option which has the most people backing it up, wins. Clearly USA, however, has a different take on this thing. I just can't see the logic behind it, but it's only me, I guess.
