FactCheck.org: No Landslide for Biden, EitherBack in 2016, Trump wrongly called his victory a landslide. Now, some are taking a page out of Trumps book to claim Biden won in a landslide. But it wasnt accurate for Trump then, and its not accurate for Biden now. (The second sentence includes some Twitter links.)
But the way I've been hearing it, Joe Biden achieved what Trump called a landslide.
If the author has complaints about what people tweet then I think he should post them on Twitter.

If he had won by one vote and with 271 EV. But I have had fun smiting the right with the 9,000,000 difference in popular vote between the last and this election. Of course most of them can't understand the math....

(16,616 posts)2. Thanks, I was curious about the definition of "landslide"
Joe will win by well over six million votes, though, possibly seven or even more.
I'll probably keep calling it a Landslide just to annoy the Trumpsters.
