Don't say mandate. It gets PP too excited.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

Nope, those are what we call the facts.

Kamala was REJECTED and it wasn't because of racism.

First of all, you would have to be living under a rock to not know that racism-and sexism played a role in her defeat. But I’ll agree that it was not the primary reason. She lost mostly because the Orange Clown convinced millions of gullible people like you , that the Democrats were responsible for everything that’s wrong with the country and the rest of the world- and that he and only he can fix everything

You all are going to be in for a rude awakening. Just wait until you’re paying more for everything- especially food and gas because of tariffs and labor shortages. Wait until he blows up the debt even more and tanks the economy. Wait until NATO is at war with Russia, China invades Tiawan and the Middle east erupts in even more violence -all because of a lack of US leadership

True.
8,000,000 racist, misogynistic, bigot Democrats voted for Biden, but didn't vote for Harris.

 

[M14 Shooter]

What Democrats are denying that Trump won the popular vote, She us! You’re just making that stupid shit up. Yes he got more votes that Harris and a little more than 50% of those who bothered to cast votes and edged her out by a paltry 1.6% , That is hardly a mandate .

1992 Clinton:
43% of the popular vote, had a mandate:

Clinton Has Mandate--Either Use It or Lose It : Election: There is public support for a specific agenda of the President-elect. But, above all, he must avoid becoming a Washington insider.

If only the Nov. 3 exit polling included a printout of what voters wanted the new Administration to do for the next four years--a real-life portrait of his "mandate."

Clinton did, but Trump doesn't?

Sure, Trump’s Win Is Historic — If You Define ‘History’ As Starting With The 2016 Election

In reality, the only “historic” element of Trump’s 2024 win was that America had never elected a coup-attempting convicted criminal before.

www.huffpost.com

In fact, Trump almost certainly will not exceed 50 percent of the total vote by the time the election is certified next month, meaning a majority of Americans who cast ballots will have voted for someone else. His 1.6-percentage-point margin over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris will be the smallest of any popular vote winner since Richard Nixon’s 0.7 percent win over Hubert Humphrey in 1968.

Further, his Electoral College margin will be smaller than both of Democrat Barack Obama’s wins and both of Democrat Bill Clinton’s victories.

Indeed, the only true historic achievement Trump can claim is that America had previously elected neither a convicted felon nor someone who had earlier attempted a coup to remain in power, and now has done both in the same person.

I don't see an answer to my question.
Clinton - for whom 57% of the people did not vote for - had a mandate - but Trump doesn't?

 

[Orangecat]

And as I said the nearly 10 million vote swing from DEM to GOP was something no one expected.

I expected more after hearing Kamala speak.

63.51% of registered voters (58.6% of voting age)

155,391,700 votes cast

244,666,890 eligible voters

264,798,961 people of voting age

Trump final vote count: 75,553,169 votes (50.2%) So Trump got 52.2% of the people who voted or 30.8 % of all people eligible to vote and 28.5% of all people of voting age

He won a huge mandate idiot!

 

[Coyote]

So why do I keep seeing these Democrat talking heads saying that Trump did not win a majority of the popular vote? There was over a 10 million vote swing from DEM to GOP from 2020 to 2024. That is a seismic shift in popular vote. Come on guys, all you do when deny obvious facts is erode what little credibility you have left. Actually you know what, that's fine with me, carry on.

Must be fraud right….isn’t that what you guys always claim while denying the obvious?

The seismic shift is economy economy economy. Not the larger MAGA agenda.

Not really.

Trump Claims He Has a Presidential Mandate. The Data Says Otherwise.

Trump’s popular vote win was the second-smallest seen over the past 40 years.

truthout.org

Trump’s margin of victory over Harris is also narrower than the margin in other presidential elections. In the past 40 years of presidential elections, all but one of the races had larger popular vote differences than the 2024 contest did.


However, the Republicans feel they have a mandate and are almost guaranteed to overreach and piss people off come 2026.

 

[M14 Shooter]

8,000,000 racist, misogynistic, bigot Democrats voted for Biden, but didn't vote for Harris.

What do the polls say is the number issue for voters?

 

[whitehall]

When you factor in the likelyhood that votes for Kamala were actually an expression of hatred for Trump you get a much lower number for Harris.

Oh yes , your question "Clinton - for whom 57% of the people did not vote for - had a mandate - but Trump doesn't?"

My answer : 71.5 % of the people ( of voting age) did not vote for Trump
