Continued vote counting on the West Coast has resulted in Trump falling below 50% of votes cast and is not yet finished.
Landslide victory - does not get 50% of the votes…
Fix your shit US
It wasn’t a landslide, people who are saying that are just ignorant.
It was a landslide in the votes that mattered: The Electoral College. Dude got almost 100 more votes there than her, that’s a landslide
popular vote doesn’t mean jack shit, unfortunately
No, it wasn’t, even by the extremely biased and undemocratic standard of the electoral college.
By percentage of electoral college votes, Trump’s victory ranks 44th out of 60 elections. This is a solidly below-average victory and far from a landslide.
I mean, the electoral college is a weird weighing of the popular vote by state; ergo, the popular vote does mean things, but the popular vote doesn’t.
Two things:
- 1: I’m pretty sure this violates our one-month moratorium on US presidential election posts
- 2: ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
So he lost the popular vote once again?
He still is ahead of Kamala by about 2% or 2.5 million votes. Before he was ahead of Kamala + Claudia + Chase + Cornell + Jill + Vermin Supreme + Elmo.
It’s still a closer gap than he lost to Biden by by a lot. But it is also super clear that Harris managed to do worse in this environment than Hillary did in 2016 back when Trump was an unknown crazy person instead of the well known crazy shill for hire.
The voter suppression wasn’t as rampant in 2016 as it was this year.
Well only when compared with the other candidates combined together. He still got more votes than Harris.
West coast best coast
My understanding is that he won Pennsylvania, therefore he deserves the Presidency, is that right?
