Irrelevant. Popular vote is a close enough approximation of the Electoral College: 91% of elections have had agreement between the popular vote and the outcome.
Or you could pretend that Republicans won 2020 and made massive gains in 2022, but somehow "the system" robbed them.
You should at least admit that without the Republican Party, Trump would never have got anywhere near the White House.
Be careful there is stating facts means you're wrong. Or at least that's what I've got my to believe by this poster.Point of information regarding the bolded. NO it is not! Hillary allegedly won the popular vote in 2016. Trump got more electors.

The argument is not necessarily the vote in 2022 (although I will continue to have personal views on the last-minute changes allowing for poorly controlled mass-mail voting).
The issue is with what led to so many people voting for "Basement Biden" who hardly campaigned, and the few times he did he drew ridiculously small crowds.
It was the mass propaganda and misinformation campaign waged in Media/social media, and online information sources like Google, Wikipedia, and other "search engines."
Silly argument. There are only two major Parties in the USA.
Your point is like saying "If not for the Democrat Party, Biden would never have got anywhere near the White House."
Strangely enough, it would be maybe even more correct to say that, if not for the Republican Party, Biden would not have become president.Point of information regarding the bolded. NO it is not! Hillary allegedly won the popular vote in 2016. Trump got more electors.

Seriously, at this point it appears that the GOP is standing back as Traitor Trump destroys himself.After Trump's refusal to denounce Kanye and Fuentes, they surely have grounds.
Heck, they had grounds years ago with the ***** grabbing incident, among a smorgasbord of transgressions, not to mention being impeached twice and being under some 6 or so criminal investigations, not to mention 8 of his staff and entourage were indicted and convicted.
If this man isn't deemed a pariah by the right, then what would it take?
Ahh, but they won't, and the big reason is that they know he would take his base with him, and that would split up the vote on the right, assuring a Democrat would win the White House in 2024.
Clearly, the RNC is putting party above country. They have no spine, nor do a majority of those Republicans in the house and senate.
I think the evidence on that point is incontrovertible, but you may try.
Fire away.

91% is a "reasonable approximation" by any definition of "reasonable" or of "approximation"
If we were talking about the Senate, then yes you could say the outcome does not approximate the popular vote.
Blame the People for trusting those sources, then. Unless you'd like to turn on Republicans and claim that corporations DON'T have freedom of speech?
...The point I was trying to make is that Trump supporters SHOULD have loyalty to the party which put their guy in power. But seemingly they don't (at least in CLAX's case) and that's despite Trumpists being a majority of the party now.
Not even a shred of loyalty for McConnell, who got them a Supreme Court Justice (if not two). On our side, we know he's the enemy, and despite his age there's a very real chance he'll be back. Unlike that clumsy criminal Trump.

No, it is not! The Founding Fathers originally set up the Electoral College to prevent a direct election of a President by popular vote.
In fact, originally it was up to the States to decide how Electors would be selected. Some went with voting others by simple selection of the State Legislatures.
Non sequitur.
People in the USA "trust those sources" because they presume that they are honestly reporting the news. This despite the history of "yellow journalism" our society has been subject to. IMO it was the Vietnam Era with anchors like Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow (CBS), David Brinkly (NBC and ABC), Chet Huntley NBC, etc.
We don't really have people like these today.
Those you call "Trumpists" are not all Republican. They are made up variously of Republicans, disaffected Democrats, and Independents.
They are not "loyal" due to Party affiliation (as pointed out above.) They are supportive for all sorts of reasons, but most actually believe in American Exceptionalism, and the ideals of individual liberty, equal opportunity, equal justice, and fair play.

No, it was years of watching president Trump try to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. It was months of watching Trump mismanage covid. It was an impeachment that showed Trump tried to extort a foreign country for his own political purposes. It was Trump calling racists "very fine people." It watching cabinet-level staff leave on almost a weekly basis. It was watching Trump pardon criminals because they were loyal to him. It was watching Trump kiss the ass of Putin at every turn. It was his incessant golfing.The issue is with what led to so many people voting for "Basement Biden" who hardly campaigned, and the few times he did he drew ridiculously small crowds.

Read about the uptick in anti-Semitic posts on social media. This does matter to left and right, as my posts pointed out.Never ever denounce anything for a leftist once you get stuck in that cycle they keep you in it perpetually.
You want to know what your pants about some words some singer and whatever Fuentes is I'm happy just to watch you meltdown over it.
I don't care because these people don't matter.

It was his total lack of empathy or compassion for people who were suffering, whether it was a war widow, or people displaced by wildfires or hurricanes, or dying from covid and their corpses being stored in refrigerator trucks. It was his constant lying about everything from the size of his inauguration crowd to the amount of legislation he was responsible for to whether Alabama was at risk because of a hurricane to when he was going to release his tax returns. We could not believe a word that came out of his mouth.
The American people had had enough of Trump and his buffoonery, his schoolyard bully taunts. There has never been a person less qualified or prepared to be president. There has never been anyone less willing to grow into the job than Trump. Every time any media outlet published anything critical of Trump it was "Fake News" this and "Fake News" that. He was an international joke. he actually got laughed at by the entire general assembly of the UN because of some ridiculous claim he made.
Trump was a huge mistake.
That is why America voted for Biden.

Antisemitic incidents hit a record high in 2021. What’s behind the rise in hate?
The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks anti-Semitic behavior nationwide, found 2,717 incidents in 2021. That's a 34 percent rise from the year before and averages out to more than seven anti-Semitic incidents per day. Jonathan Greenblatt is the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League and author of...www.pbs.org
Stop caring so much. Don't you see that's the attention they want?The users care.
So why did they allow ISIS accounts for so long? That didn't hurt their business nether did the child pornography.If Twitter's new policy is to allow anti-semitic trolling, it will destroy their business.

Nobody complained about that.
I don't think they can. There's no process for it. Anyone can join a party for any reason.
Well it's not illegal to be a jerk.It's not just your right, but your duty, to report content which promotes illegal activity.
I don't participate on Twitter people like you are there and I get enough of you here.But I'm sure you don't see it that way. To you, all speech is worth what you paid for it: ie, nothing.
They can do things like pass resolutions and they could have voted to convict on impeachment twice. They voted Liz Cheney out of her state party.I don't think they can. There's no process for it. Anyone can join a party for any reason.

So in theory the Republican State Party in Florida (he is registered in Florida, right?) can vote to exclude Trump from the party. Especially if they want to go all in for DeSantis.They can do things like pass resolutions and they could have voted to convict on impeachment twice. They voted Liz Cheney out of her state party.
