I understand the words from FactCheck and Wikipedia: Donald Trump won the popular vote in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. He received approximately 77.3 million votes (49.8%), while Kamala Harris garnered about 75 million votes (48.3%)

Let me guess what your next comment is tho: "They are part of the propaganda campaign!" Right?! lmao

Thanks for confirming that you don't understand what I said.

Thanks for confirming that I'm right.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You understand that 49.3% is not a majority, right? Of course you don't. You posted the numbers yourself. Try to keep up.

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I posted links that said he won the majority. Bottom line: He's prez. Your party lost. Accept it. :)

You need to learn what words mean. You posted the numbers yourself. Under 50% is not a majority. That's a plurality. Most Americans wanted someone else. Holy shit. This is why this country is fucked. Can't understand a basic conversation even after it is spelled out for them

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I posted quotes from the articles. Maybe you should let the writers of those articles know that they need to learn what words mean.

Most Americans wanted someone else

No they didn't. Look at all the democrats who didn't even vote! LMAO

You're just mad that Trump won. I'm glad he won. :)

Omg. Like I'm waving it in your face and you can't even see it. He loves the poorly educated. This is why. Holy shit.

Hey, did you write to all the news orgs that say Trump won by popular and electoral vote to tell them how wrong they are? Go head, write them a strongly worded note. Maybe they'll change their minds! LMAO

The authors of those articles weren't the ones misinterpreting what those words meant. You were. You still are. And I don't have the time to instruct you in how English works.

[–] WilliamFBuckley@lemy.lol -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think the words work just fine. But I get that you're mad that Trump is president. Oh well! Maybe your party can do better next time. Here's a tip: Don't keep someone with Alzheimer's disease in office, and lie about his mental state, for so long. It creates mistrust in your party. :)

... Trump is quite literally sundowning before our eyes. Go watch him speak from 2020. He's noticably worse.

Even if he were "sundowning," the Democratic party has shown us that it's ok to keep people in office who are losing their mental abilities.

Maybe we'll just ask Trump to step down a few months before the next presidential election. The Democratic Party has shown us that it's ok to to do that. You remember Biden's playbook, right? Thanks for showing how it's done, I guess!
