Landslide!

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

Meh.

It hurts the feelz of magaturds.

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.

Mandate Schmandate......

If you can do it, you do it.

Good grief

You're dumb as a fucking post.

They'll still think it was a landslide.

They have their own definitions in that world.

Your impotent rage is hilarious.

My quibble with the notion of a 50/50 country is the positive polling margins Dems enjoy on virtually every issue of great importance to the country.
I use the support for the ACA as an analogy. After it was passed many people said they didn't like it. Once it was broken down in its component parts the favorability was a much different picture. Sorry, just a pet peeve.

Your impotent rage is hilarious.

Magaturds pretending to be 'winners' is even more hilarious.

MAGA doesn’t define “landslide” with objective numerical values. It’s more emotion based. Similarly, they use the term “rigged”, not based on any objective facts, but based entirely on emotion.

“Landslide” and “rigged” are almost exact opposites for them. It’s actually very simple with them.

When their candidate wins, he won in a “landslide”.

When their candidate loses, the election was “rigged”.
