She also reiterated her bogus claim that she lost the “closest” election of the 21st Century — a claim she had made recently at her alma mater, Howard University.

Trump beat Harris in the Electoral College last year, 312-226, which was the widest margin this century beyond former President Barack Obama’s two presidential victories in 2008 and 2012. The president also won the popular vote with 77 million votes to Harris’s 75 million.

Just shut the fuck up

Lost to one of the dumbest motherfuckers ever by a massive margin because she thought being a neocon in 2024 was the play, somehow running an even stupider campaign than the open fascist who brought on Elon Musk and JD Vance, both of whom are considered losers by literally everyone

If only hilldog had gone away after losing the primary to Obama.

Or Kamala disappeared after getting nowhere in the 2020 primary

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Or if Biden had disappeared after any of his failed presidential bids

2028 is going to be full of milquetoast democrats trying to act like Trump. The Democratic primary debate having Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris both badly doing a Trump impression.

...and one of them is probably going to win.

Lying about how close the election was is very Trumpian. I bet the crowd at her book promo was also the biggest in history. Everyone knows Kamala Harris is the greatest politician of this generation. Some even say the greatest of all generations. Many people are saying it.

i hear she's called "the horse genius" in elite circles (she's very stable)

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

the horse genius

This insult feels very {馬鹿|バカ} coded from a literal sense of the characters

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

Wow a useless failed politician swore while talking about them! That'll show those fascists!

"Journalists" have found an even worse term than "slams"

The electoral college is so wack that I don't think it's necessarily incorrect to look at the popular vote when considering the "closeness" of an election, and indeed the 2024 popular vote was the closest this century.

However I think the best metric would be the number of votes needed to flip enough states to win the electoral college, though that of course changes by if they'd be Trump voters or non-voters. Strictly looking at the net difference, though, with 229,766 her margin was wider than both Hillary's (79,316) and Kerry's (118,601)

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think it's necessarily incorrect look at the popular vote

Trump already said it during the 2016 campaign vs. Clinton: if the election was decided by popular vote instead of the Electoral College, he would have campaigned differently. I think that's true across every election for the winner of that election...they campaigned based on winning the EC. Candidates who went for the popular vote ended up losing the election because that's not how it works.

So IMHO, it doesn't matter what the popular vote is because it's a first-past-the-post system. It's a shitty, unfair system that should have been eliminated centuries ago. But it's the system in place whose rules candidates agree to when they participate. Any hypotheticals about the popular vote can be disregarded because they alter the rules too much.

Like the goal in Chess is to capture the king, not capture the most pieces. If the goal is capturing the most pieces, it becomes an entirely different game and the players are making entirely different decisions. Analyzing the Karpov vs. Kasparov 1985 World Championship game by who took the most pieces and is thus actually the best player is a moot exercise.

[–] RION@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

I'm not saying that it should be the primary metric but I'm saying it's relevant and can tell us something about how close an election was. We still measure material in chess because it tells us something about how the game is going, even if it's not the victory condition

These lame-o ducks will never go away, getting real tired of constant complaining from Harris that never had an actual interest to do anything in the first place.
