I consider four percent to be a "cheatproof" margin of victory

Last edited Fri Apr 16, 2021, 11:43 AM - Edit history (11)

and I would be thrilled if President Duh Don could lose the popular vote by twice as much as he did in 2016. But that seemed like asking for the stars when you shouldn't have made it to the moon...




Well, guess what? The stars answered anyway!

Baffles me, with this margin of victory at the top of the ticket, that we didn't win more Senate seats, especially the ones polling heavily in our favor.

I dare say that voting machines are easier to hack.

Add that 3 percent to the 4 percent winning margin and you get 7 percent.

Right around what the polls were telling us.

IMO, we are getting a good bearing on the percentage of voter suppression and electoral fraud of the Repukes.

According to the current Cook Political Vote Tracker and Wikipedia, Joe has now surpassed fifty percent of the popular vote, and his margins of victory of 4.4 percent and 5,737,372 votes are TWICE what Trump lost the popular vote by in 2016. Woot woot woot -- trifecta accomplished!
