Trump & the GOP have all the power. But have you considered he didn't get 50% and... screws?

We are many, we are angry and we are right
Then do something? All the lib officials have surrendered and say they'll peacefully hand over the power. What does this guy want to do now, Jan 6 reenactment but lib? That would have my support TBH, let them fight
They are doing something. They're crying and moaning on Twitter while they wait in the drive though for their Starbucks! What more could you ask of them!
Then do something?
I just realized that post-election - I haven't seen a single Bluesky post about any nuts-and-bolts efforts on stuff like voter outreach or voter registration. The libs entire worldview is ya gotta Vote(!) and then after the election - email your congresspeople to "keep the pressure on". It's going to be pretty funny when DC libs start strategically doing their norm of compromising in advance and doing nothing of importance to throw sand in the gears. And no amount of email is going to change that.

Hell, libs could even post about improving reading comprehension and literacy to serve as a bulwark for democracy. The average American reads at a sixth grade level. But libs would rather repost something from The Bulwark which is a right-wing concern troll site co-created by Bill Fucking Kristol.
My mom is a fucking Turbo Lib and whenever I bring up something that could throw Trump in prison and remove him from office, her response is "That's not the proper procedure," or "We can't resort to violence," or whatever reason she can think of for Democrats to do nothing.
MLK didn't miss with Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
Wow this election really broke libs' brains, huh?
that assumes their brains were in proper working order to begin with
They were already broken. Its
except 2016
then consider like half the people who could vote didn't for either. and that doesnt count the people excluded from voting, and you might start to realize you two Red Team vs. Blue Team are in the minority squabbling over petty distinctions without a material difference.
so who has the numbers? the people who find you both pointless.
"Nobody" won in a landslide with like 90 million votes
You know what, maybe my writing doesn't suck all that much.
But really, what the fuck analogy is this? "You think we are screwed? Well, have you considered screw sizes? Didn't think so..."
kind of looks like everyone gets screwed no matter what pile they're in!
Now show the pile that didn't participate in this farce.
Harris may have 8 of the 13 keys, but she only has 48 of the 99 screws
I forgot all about that guy and his keys! I googled.
'I admit I was wrong': Allan Lichtman explains why his election prediction failed
-
Lichtman attributed the inaccurate prediction to factors like disdain for the Biden administration and Harris' late campaign start.
-
Despite the miss, Lichtman stands by his "13 Keys to the White House" system, emphasizing its long-term accuracy.
-
He also criticized Nate Silver's polling-based prediction model, suggesting it relied heavily on chance.
Buy my book! It will help you predict a coin flip. Perhaps wrongly but still...!
This made me laugh.
"I don't think I called any (keys) wrong," Lichtman said. "The contest key was rendered problematic by what went on by the Democratic Party but I don't think you can say I called it wrong except for in retrospect. At the time it was the more reasonable call."
I'm stealing "render problematic" and "[My logic was not wrong]" and "I don't think you can say I called it wrong except [in] retrospect".

That's why Kamala is my Shoe-In of the Week!
Heh, sounds like Kamala
Got screwed this election
Bluesky libs have a "He didn't get 50%!" fetish. I wish Trump was holding steady at 50.1% so the libs would finally shut up about this.
Usually usually they do screengrabs of this page. - https://www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker/2024/electoral-college - current stats...
Trump: 49.86%
Harris: 48.26%'Oh so Harris' number is still smaller, got it'
JFK got and 49.72% and Nixon got 49.55% on 1960
Meanwhile Clinton won on 43.0% in 1992
If you can't personally eyeball the entire electorate, it doesn't count
Rainman starts counting a visual representation of the vote where each vote is a toothpick. He begins counting Kamala's 74,563,603 votes but he suddenly stops at 8,713 and he starts yelling - "TOO MANY! TOO MANY! NO NO! UNDERWEAR ON THE HIGHWAY..."
Well you see technically you're only allowed to use the term landslide if you're in the champagne region of France
babby's first political economy
this election season, cast your vote for Phillips or Flathead
Can't wait till Season 2 of Chainsaw Man.
"The teleprompter guy is worried but I gotta say something else. New thing because today is my inauguration for the second time on tv. It should be the third time but only second time on tv. Now - new branding. Much better. No more elephant. Republican symbol is the Flathead. The Flathead - strong and powerful. Best. The Phillips bad. Designed by Bad Holland Communists to break and destroy America like the democrats. They wanna screw you. They do. They do..."
I see both Trump and Harris both have some screws loose.
This person is making a valid point. The amount of power given to a president just for winning more votes than the opponent - not even getting more than 50% of the eligible voting population - is pretty large.
Of course, they use this point to support kamala harris, so it is made moot.
You had us in the first half, not gonna lie
Did he just not have beans in the house? This clearly should've been done with beans
just don't care about being nice anymore
Yeah because scolding the shit out of people to vote for your party with ass ideas helps convince people to vote for you. It's like a child having a temper tantrum because they didn't get their present. They will do ANYTHING but attempt policies that actually help people.
People don't interact with politicians, they interact with their supporters. Acting like an ass convinces no one to vote for you.
If screws could vote, and libs weren't a joke, then every day would be democracy day.
Okay now do it with one pile of 76.8 million votes and one with 74.3
okay, now show me the pile of screws that didn't vote
I'll never understand why y'all are so pro Trump
because this is a republican web site. we like small business owners, hamburgers, and killing muslims, and abusing our kids. obviously.
We like that
WE GOT ONE
People coming here to say this don't seem to understand we hate both candidates, vast majority of American politicians and the entire American political system.
I am personally not in the West and the identity of the president affects nothing here. I do know trans people in America and I was hoping Kamala would win, even if I was too disgusted by her stance on Palestine, until I learned her actions as a prosecutor and "we should follow the law" statement on trans people, showing she would not be a hardliner on trans issues. That was the one advantage she might've had over Trump.
It is because the candidates are both hateworthy and ghoulish that it's funny to laugh at people who are convinced one of them is morally pure or advantageous for the average person. We also had a few laughs at chuds who thought Trump was anti-war.
tl;dr Trump indeed bad. The issue isn't that Trump good but that acting like Trump is the worst person in American politics or a root cause of the current problems is rather bizarre.
