But but but 6/152 is 4% which is a huge bigly margin!
Also it’s a meaningless value since the EC swing state delta is around 200K votes max
How did that compare to Trumps victory over hillary? The silent majority turned out to be the losing minority.
I think there should be a third recount of Georgia, I'd rather enjoy watching Trump lose for a third time.
Remind me again how many times the popular vote has elected a president? And using it as some kind of declaration of a mandate is precious, especially when it’s as badly misrepresented as hereHow did that compare to Trumps victory over hillary?

Also “but Hillary”
I pointed out the only margin that matters. Yes he won the EC but using some slim ass popular vote margin and even slimmer EC margin shows some kind of mandate. I guess those NY and CA votes were really really blue with all those popular votesYou balked at the 'delta' in the ec and made the face at the meager amount of Biden's margin.
I simply asked a question and made no mention of the popular vote.
Biden won the ec, fair and square. Time to come to terms with this fact.

And you played “but Hillary”. Noted.
Other than Reagan the majority of our presidential elections have been decided by less than a 10% spread on the popular vote but based on the EC had some pretty wide separations. I think Reagan twice and Bush 41 in modern times were the only three at 400+ EC and Reagan broke 500. 41 still had a less than 10% popular vote spread.The whole mandate thing is just politically contrived nonsense.
And all it took was the partisan Democrats trying to run her out of the party. It turns out she believes in what she’s doing and trying to find common ground with the opposing party is better than being shut out.You mentioned that before. I need to go read up on that. Has the bartender finally figured it out maybe?
