Whether you are a Rube-publican or a Dumb-ocrat, believing in the lies a politician or political party tells you is one reason why our Republic is as weak as it has been in 50 years. We have to return to a country where truth matters. You may see spin here, but you will see truth. Believe it, or tell me why you don't.

"America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate," the PE, 11.25.24

No it didn't, and don't believe it. Unless of course you don't believe ballotpedia.org All election results come from that site.

Let's start with the popular vote. The PE won the popular vote. The PE did not win the majority of voters. The PE did not receive the most votes ever cast for President. Of all American presidential elections, only 8 had a smaller margin of victory (based on margin of victory).

Next up? The Electoral College. The PE won the Electoral College. The win was not unprecedented. Of the 60 federal presidential elections in our history, the PE won the Electoral College by the 44th largest margin in history.

Third leg in the stool? How about coattails? In the House Of Representatives, the R's party won 220/435 (50.6%) races. In the 2024 election, 4 incumbent D's and 7 incumbent R's lost their seat. Moving to the Senate, the R's won 53/100 (53%). In the States, there were 157 executive offices (Gov., Lt. Gov., AG, SoS) up for election. R's gained 4 seats. 79% of all State legislative seats were up for election. 55% of seats up for election were won by R's and 2/99 State legislative chambers changed control, R's gained control of the MI House, and gained a tie in the MN House.

The PE won a decisive victory, but there is no mandate. The only thing claiming a mandate will actually do is make R voters wonder why R elected officials can't get anything done. Please tell the truth, it makes it easier to remember what you said.

Perhaps. I believe a bigger reason is the growing disrespect and insults regarding different political views/opinions. A very good example is the very first sentence above.

Are you suggesting that the disrespect and insults are truthful? That's cute.

Gee, I forgot you're one of those that swirl what is said, around in your mind, and spew out your very own interpretation.

Sorry, you got it wrong again. It has nothing to do with the truth.

How can my opinion be a lie or whatever? Do you even know what you're responding to?

An opinion can be factual or not.

I believe the moon is made of cheese is quite similar to I believe there was a historic mandate in the 2024 election. As I originally posted, you will see spin if you look, but what I posted is true.

Dude, I don't know WTH you're talking about. Re-read this thread from the beginning and then comment.

Hint: Your first sentence of insulting and disrespect towards political opinions other than your own, is what I said was what I think is part of the problem.
Then you gave a weird reply of:
"Are you suggesting that the disrespect and insults are truthful? That's cute."

In short, you went off the rails 2 comments in and just kept going. Have fun, I'm done.

I can see why you are done...you've got nothing to say. My first sentence criticized both parties. My response to you believing that political based insults and disrespect is based on truth is...wait for it...cute.

Your face is cute.
 
For better or worse, we voted for the fate we get.
 
Speaker small Johnson's is a rube-publican, he's spreading the lie that there was a mandate in the 2024 election. In his acceptance speech to become 3rd in line for the presidency, he talked about the historic mandate in the 2024 election. If you'd like to see the price of the Speaker's endorsement from the PE, watch his acceptance speech. Then tell me that the PE didn't tell him exactly what to say. Does he think his minuscule majority will be able to get things done without D support?
