I don't know what you're expecting. The election day hasn't changed. It's the first Tuesday in November, always has been and, barring anything extremely unconstitutional from certain spray tanned individuals, it always will be.

    But America bad, remember? Can you believe America, taking a long time to elect officials?

    Clearly we need a European style democracy where the people vote for parties A B and C and then A and C win and form a government with X Y and Z so that there's a Frankenstein government that literally nobody voted for. It's more democratic, you see.

    I would like to take issue with your last two points. People in Europe vote knowing a coalition government is the outcome, meaning many people did in fact vote for Frankenstein’s Monster. Also, with the coalition, more people are represented in the government, meaning a wider range of opinions and subjectively more democratic.
