    I am genuinely disgusted at how this could even happen like this. He got the popular vote? By 5 million?

      Oh its worse then that.

      Just winning would be bad, but with the popular vote that is a mandate.

      Having a clear mandate would be very bad but the house/senate would both need to go red to be able to execute the sort of mandate promised. You know that thing that also happened.

        He’s lost at everything in his life, despite trying so much and having every advantage. At a certain point the law of large numbers has to kick in.

        And the one time he does it’s because of nazis lol. Still not really a victory.
