Second that. Had it for the first time not long ago. Among the best I’ve ever had.

In the quote you provided they are talking about the "majority vote" not the "popular vote". Those are two different things. Yes, they have moved the goal posts and are trying to minimize the win, but they are not saying he didn't win the popular vote. Did you copy your headline from a retard on X?

That’s kind of my point. They are splitting hairs. No one who voted third party had any expectation of their vote actually going towards a winning candidate. They effectively no voted. When you exclude third party votes, he won a majority of the popular vote.

If you poll people on their favorite vacation spot and 150 say Italy, 147 say Greece, and 4 say Afghanistan, you could certainly make the statistically accurate point that Italy didn’t win a majority of the vote. But you could also expect to be laughed at for trying to make any sort of serious inferences from that.

One is white and one is brown. They reduce everything into “oppressed” vs. “oppressor”.

This is the correct answer. The left aren’t grounded in a common set of principles like conservatives are. For that reason, they have to string together a loose coalition whose members often have contradictory interests. They do this by ignoring those contradictions when it’s politically expedient to do so, and focusing instead on what should be irrelevant qualities like skin color and who was or wasn’t colonized hundreds of years ago. It just so happens Muslims fit into one of those buckets, so the left is happy to turn a blind eye in exchange for what they hope is a monopoly on their votes.

ETA: This also explains why they can’t win the rural white man vote. They simply don’t fit into one of the buckets. For white women, they fall into one of the most ridiculous buckets ever created - the “woman” bucket, as if most women are somehow expected to have views that are a radical departure from, you know, their life mates. And then the Jewish angle is also interesting. Despite voting for Democrats for years simply due to being more culturally liberal, they don’t fit into a bucket, so the left does things like support the Palestinians who do.

Also ETA: the “left” in my post above refers primarily to the modern progressive wing of the Democratic Party. This bucket thing didn’t really take off until the post-Clinton era. I assume they had so much success putting blacks into a bucket, they tried to replicate that as much as they possibly could. But as soon as you have a straight white man bucket, all the other buckets, who have been conditioned to believe that skin color is everything and the white patriarchy is the root of all evil, begin to leak. We are starting to see the left struggle with this now. The left knows they need the rural white man vote to win future elections, but the day they go for it their paper-thin coalition breaks down.

They really kind of got punked by Clemson. Had SMU won last night, Bama would be in.

Let’s track the all-time favorites and create a running list of new releases. This should be an area where PT excels. Left, right, and center - let’s consume it all.

I’d offer to get it started but I’m not active enough, so thanks in advance to whoever volunteers.

No he doesn't. He 100% supports the left and always votes for and donates to them. That said, he does know how to read the room. He knows what has just happened and is moderating his tone in response. But it is only temporary. Wait till January and he will be calling Trump Hitler again.

He’s been calling the wokeness out for a while now. Well before election results indicated it wasn’t popular.

That Alabama bitch didn’t vote for Rick Scott either.

I didn’t recall anything about her having ties to Alabama, so I scanned her Wikipedia page. Didn’t see anything about Alabama, but I did see that she failed the Bar Exam four times. This is a test meant for people to pass based on minimal understanding of the issues. It’s not a tricky or intentionally complex exam. How in the hell someone could fail it four times is beyond me.

I wonder if it just perpetually says “>95% reporting,” or if they update it, to the decimal point, as more votes are counted.
