What's WRONG with this picture?

<center>
[less 60% of those eligible to do so, vote in any given Presidential Election]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_States_presidential_elections)
......................................................................................................................................................
</center>
[record 137.5 million Americans voted in the 2016 presidential election,](http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/05/12/black-voter-turnout-fell-in-2016-even-as-a-record-number-of-americans-cast-ballots/)
[The United States has a population of  327 million]( http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/)

about sixty million out of 327 million selected the president.
Eighteen percent of the population?

This is in the PRESIDENTIAL election. All other elections have a fraction of the turnout.

Something doesn't seem quite right.

Equally then where is the Majority? The masses do not endorse Democracy, that is the ultimate Demo(Mob)-(Rule)cracy. 

Here is a quick one for you:

Our "President" is a limited puppet head at most in times of peace, and a commander in times of war, but that's not the head bender, it's that only land owning americans can Elect (not vote) a president or any other official, but how can you own anything with Debt, and how many can actually say they Own something, that's why democracy fails, because in a Republic it's not MOB rule, but those that show up rule.

if you count the margin of victory, perhaps less than 1% determined the outcome? <<< I am not a statistician nor historian, but, it seems that historically 1% to 2% of the eligible voters determined major changes.
