It wouldn't be so bad if Biden was even remotely funny or witty. People can tolerate an amusing old man, where being a sandwich short of a picnic is classified as being eccentric. Reagan is a case in point. I'm sure he wasn't all there towards the end, but by God he was funny.

 

Trump missed his true calling as a comedian, but now he gets to do quality stand-up in the oval office every day.  Priceless! :coffee1:

Happy to see this.  This old Marxist and always on the wrong side of history is getting irreverent enough to completely away.

A majority of the electorate did NOT vote for the Republican candiate

Voter turnout was 63.7%

Of the people who voted, only 49.8%  voted for the Republican  candidate.

This means that of the total electorate only a minority voted for Trump.

 

But But But .     Trump Won !!!    end of story !

Strongly disagree with you.   Democrats need his strength, political savvy and dignity befitting a President of USA.  Easy to take cheap shots at Joe Biden.  Embarassed for you.

 

I love your satire. Thank you I needed that laugh.

It would seem you don't know how elections work or what majority means. Let's have a look at your understanding. 100 people are voting for either A or B. 52 people vote for A and 48 people vote for B. According to you A wins but not by a majority. Is this correct?

Nobody can be this dumb. Voting in the US is non-compulsory. The majority of those that voted, voted for Trump that's why he won the popular vote. 1st time for a Republican candidate to do this since 2004. Of course the popular vote is not the most important. That's the Electoral College and this was an overwhelming victory for Trump including flipping the Blue Wall.

No need to be embarrassed we can agree to disagree, like gentlemen often do. Dissent is an incredibly healthy thing, on both sides of the aisle. I don't see it much on the Republican side, though. 

 

Only fealty. No dissent allowed with a royal monarch.

Apparently you are.  A majority is more than 50%. Trump did not obtain a majority, nor was it decisive. Of the total eligible voters, he received a minority of votes. Of those who voted, he also received a minority of votes. His opponents also recived a minority of the votes.

 

Yes, Trump won enough states to win the electoral college all or non (except for 2 states) allocation, which is a first past the post concept. I am not disputing the result onr Trump's win. I am questioning the characterization of the results as a decisive majority, because it was not.

In what world is 49.8% of votes cast a majority? This means that 50.2% of voters did not vote for the candidate. 50.2% is a majority.  A 49.8%  result is a minority. Harris' 48.3% result is a minority.

I am not denying that Trump won the election. What I am questioning is the characterization that it was a majority result or decisive.

I hope that is sarcasm.

Dude, you need to contact the DNC and see if you can be a "Spin Doctor" for the '28 Harris/AOC ticket.

You really seem to believe that 49,8<48.3. Let's see if this helps: 49.8+48.3=98.1. That leaves 1.9 who voted for RFK (or other) even though he wasn't running.

The electoral college was 226(H)42% and 312(T)58% = majority.

https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2024

By state: 16(H) and 34(T) = majority

Are ya seeing a pattern here? Big number good (majority), small number bad. (minority) :stoner:
