AP data shows Biden up by almost 5 million popular votes over Trump. EC totals are 290 Biden, 214 Trump as of now.
We've passed from "close election" to "clear mandate".

We should push back on this idea that we have been repudiated in a disappointing result.
Nonsense. It wasn't the landslide we wanted but still a solid win. Not to mention the EC margin will be equal to Trump's who declared it as a mandate for himself.
Also, this idea that we lost in the House is also a BS narrative. We "lost seats" but it is still a win. It is only a loss relative to the larger win we had in 2018.

The State of Denial!
Will be see mass migration of Republicans to Florida, and have Florida secede from the USA, with Mar-a-Lago as it's own White House?

(6,423 posts)Most of his votes are a result of manipulation, and so it's super special that he tries to manipulate it via EC now too?
Maybe he actually was dropped on his head as a baby and liked it, so they just kept on doing it?
I am out of excuses otherwise, then just plain old evil POS asshole and I hope that goes on his piss stone.
