Trump barely beat Harris.
Cuomo got crushed in this primary.
Trump by no means barely beat Harris, she and Clinton were both around 220 votes and Trump has an easy 300.
The electrical college will always look different ways because winner takes all voting. It's all that matters at the end, but a 1.5% change in the voters would have flipoed most of the battleground states. It was closer than many make it out to be
The fact that "closer" can be so diametrically opposed indicates a failure in the system.
If it was close we'd have gotten, I don't know, Mitt Romney or somebody.
But the winner-take-all aspect means we get the dumbest, ugliest fascists ever. Just for a 1.5% difference.
This is what a broken system looks like.
...........60 goddamn percent of the country either voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all, meaning they voted for Trump. Explain to me how she barely lost.
That's not even true. Less than 50% of the people who voted, voted for Trump.
He didn't do much better than 2020 when he lost. The U.S. population increased by 2.5% from 2020 to 2024.
Numerically with the population growing by the 2.5% we saw a 4.5% drop in voting in 2024.
Reasons are all speculation.
bro trump cheated the second time lmao.
I'm no fan of the guy but I haven't heard anything about him cheating. Are you referring to the voting machine controversy? I'm probably uninformed, just trying to understand where you're coming from
Just my opinion with no proof honestly.
Here's why. I live in WI, a super swing state that went Democrat for Biden. For Trump's second term A LOT of people voted, seemed like more than usual. I knew one person who voted for trump personally (she regrets it now but that's besides the point) but I mean. My work with around 5000 employees all bash trump on group chats whenever he can be used as a joke for something. And we got hit hard with tariffs (by we I mean our customers)

To the point. So in Wisconsin trump won as president, but every other Democrat candidate on the ballot also won. Which for maga is unheard of. No one likes tony evers, even Dems don't like him that much. No one likes Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson is like the most Republican POS you can get, but yet Tammy still won that ballot. And I have only heard that maga "votes red the whole ballot"
And then there are also uncounted ballots here as well, which wouldn't have changed anything, but in my opinion with Elon being president for a few months might have been some kind of deal he had with trump to kind of sway the decision.
There's also trump early tweet about fraud in some states before the counting was even finished that he ended up winning anyways.
