Polls are showing him above every other candidate combined.

There had been a lot polls that said ol' Shitznpantz will never become Potus... still, here we are.

Actually, aggregate polls predicted the second Trump victory. I was really stressing about it before the election.

The second one... I ment the elections for his first term.

For me as a German it is history repeating... and every day my opinion that the human population should be reduced by 90%. We are the greatest danger to all life on this planet.

I think at least fivethirtyeight predicted a tossup heavily favoring HRC, who did actually win the popular vote.

Ah, thank you very much. You know, we all know US-ians love their appreviations, but without the right context they are just confusing.

I just figured it would be obvious in the context of "person who won the 2016 US presidential popular vote" mb.

Somehow it is annoying for a lot people when appreviations are used and people expect to know the context.

Would you know the Context when I talk about FJS buying tanks that not even the manufacturer liked, or the planes that became known as "the widow maker"

You were expected to know the context which is the content of my comment before replying, yes.

[–] Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, because we're used to get full names... I didn't even know Hillary Clinton has a middle name. In german media she's always just Hillary Clinton.

And I think this is some US defaultism the world shakes it's head over.
