Landslide!

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Just wanted to clarify something for future reference. Being a numbers geek, I wanted to check something out.

I'm told, on a pretty regular basis, that Trump's 2024 win was a "landslide". When I point out that he didn't even receive half the votes, or when I point out that his popular vote margin of victory was only 1.5%, I'm told those don't matter. The only fallback, of course, is the Electoral College vote, 312-226. So it's not about Americans or people, it's about the Electoral College. Okay.

Let's look at that result from a historical perspective, shall we?

As it turns out, both of Trump's wins were near the historical bottom in terms of percentage of electoral votes won (since the number of electoral votes have changed over the years). In fact, both Clinton and Obama had a higher percentage in their wins. Please see below.

In fairness, both parties just love to call any win a "mandate", which is bullshit. We are a 50/50 country and hopefully we'll get a President who understands what that means before it's too late. But pretending that Trump's complete destruction of our institutions and standing in the world is justified by a "landslide" victory is pure bullshit.

Facts don't matter to the brainwashed True Bleevrs™ here.

one learns to avoid the ghettos and never travel alone. It takes experience.

I traveled by bus through Chicago in 1979 as a teenager. We were escorted off the bus, and right onto our next the west bound bus by guards.

Trump won, deal with it.

Go fuck yourself.

Condolences.

When it explodes, you don't have far to travel to make it to the safety of the Dakotas. You'll be welcome.

Just skip the blue haven of Minnesota.

Also, Iowa can be sketchy.

don't I know both. They're the only routes available.

Dude, I'm from the worst city in the country, Chicago.

Go Cubs go!

When you consider the left in California, counted fake ballots for weeks to offset the landslide, it makes sense why the margin shrunk dolt!

dude, right? how many days did it take em to fill in all those ballots? 10 days? How auto pen used?

I love the "fake news" ratings for a post that simply posts the results in descending order. What exactly is fake? OhPleaseJustQuit and The Duke

We can certainly agree on the "transformative" part.

If he succeeds, he also helps you.

You poor little Nazi.

Maybe next time don't let your shitty little racist party pick a candidate for you. You know, do democracy instead.

It should be. You're essentially exactly like the folks you constantly disparage. Hypocrite.

I've learned that if you say something they don't like, you must be lying. Ask them what the lie is, and they toss out an insult.

Meh.

Darn! It's almost as if they don't appreciate the effort I made to clarify!

Darn!
