The Senate, the House, the popular vote, the electoral vote, that's a pretty good interpretation of a landslide.

Actually, it isn't.

The situation (unfortunately) is in the U.S. system a fairly slim vote majority can potentially bring TOTAL POWER.

As opposed to a parliamentary system.

This rather tragically (as we have a president that clearly intends to rule as an AUTOCRAT) happened this time. Bigly.

Actually, my opinion is that it is.  It was a landslide.   Your opinion may not be the same but that does not make you right.

It's a very popular misrepresentation of a landslide.

 

But carry on.

That's your opinion.  My opinion is that it was a very good interpretation of a landslide in that context.  But, carry on.

Hey a slim majority voted for this (by about a ONE PERCENT margin).

But how many really knew what they were voting for?

Too bad if they didn't. The dirty smelly deed is done.

 

2024 election: How ultrawealthy megadonors wield power in American politics.

 

A slim majority is still a majority.

In other words, why do you hate democracy?

 

Harris   73,755,129 votes (48.2%)  

Trump  76,453,640 votes (50.0%)

Yes of course.

He won.

But not even close to a landslide.

I think it would be difficult for most humans to have their worldview shattered and rejected so badly. 

 

When all along they firmly believed they were crusading for the right thing.

Yet Harris outspent Trump by what, two to one? 

 

No one believes you guys anymore. You're going to have to start telling the truth now and them in you want to regain any credibility. 

 

Harris/the left represents the people talking down. 

 

Trump represents the people being talked down to. 

 

She/they blew through 1 billion in a few weeks and are apparently 20 mill in debt, she/they can't even manages their own campaign money, imagine the disaster she/they'd have been for the country on a whole

I think they spent more money on staffing than Trump did for his whole campaign. The young turks talked about it.

 

Some people questioning where the money went.

312 Electoral College votes. The Senate. The House. The popular vote. All battle states Red, a move to the right even in solid blue states. Landslide or not what it is is a massive slap in the face for the radical, progressive, woke agenda left of which you are one. Look how Red the US is now. Got your butt well and truly kicked. Absolutely glorious albeit somewhat disturbing watching the dummy spitting, baby tantrum throwing meltdowns.

We do not have a parliamentary system.  Get over it.
