David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Trump drops below 50% of the popular vote, with a smaller margin of victory than Hillary had in 2016, both in terms of percentage and raw vote margin. And they want us to think there's a mandate... 691651164
narrowshoo.bsky.social @narrowshoo.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I think there is a mandate, but not in that way. All about context. Given that roughly 40% of voting aged people didn't even vote, and enough of the Dem's target demo flipped their vote or didn't vote at all, I think it speaks clearly. Change is wanted. Dems need to make it tangible to vote for. 100
Mark @marktd63.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I seriously think that there needs to be a recount of the swing states and those totals reported in person and not via internet. 000
John Wheeler @jwheel.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Mandate my ass. Over 100M folks of voting age were too lazy to show up at the polls 140
proDaddio @prodaddio.bsky.social · 19/11/2024There are some starting to point to a discrepancy in “bullet ballots”, single vote ballots. There’s exponentially more than there should be in several key states Election fraud??? 100
Jeremy Ruihley @rooliz.bsky.social · 19/11/2024The more the votes come in, the more it's apparent that this was NOT a red wave, or a landslide. He's just as pathetic as ever, the Democrats just didn't show up en masse. 6630
Token Ray @tokenray.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I’m a huge fan but where are you getting your numbers? This is what I found. 000
Patricia @patcutie4.bsky.social · 19/11/2024As Trump voters see the truth coming that was told to them by Dems before their eyes some regret their vote but most are looking forward to the wreckage unfortunately there's no turning back. Brace yourself. 000
Ashley Winters @fierce-deity-z.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Dang, I didn't see that. I'm not saying it would have made a difference but we really need to get rid of the electoral college. 010
Quentin Harrison @discowallflower.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Well, with mainstream media continuing to be stenographers for him, no one will believe this and he’ll keep winning that media front. It’s maddening. 130
Heather T Lynn @heathertlynn.bsky.social · 19/11/2024And want us to forget about the Musk/Russian campaigns to suppress votes by boosting disinformation to targeted voter groups, and bomb threats. It’s going to, as it did in 2016, come down to a few areas where vote totals were tight and tipped the balance. He may have “won” but he sure had help. 000
Condottiero 🏴☠️ @thekingofbattle.bsky.social · 20/11/2024How many times have u ppl called for ending electoral college? It's a big win. If you remove the fraud its significant. 000
vogliocaffe.bsky.social @vogliocaffe.bsky.social · 20/11/2024That coordinated propaganda effort was **just enough** to work. 000
LarsThorwald @larsthorwald.bsky.social · 19/11/2024It was rigged! We had women voting for their rights, Gen Z and Swifties and even Republicans. Putin wanted his puppet back in. That’s ok. Repugs will have control of everything so let’s just see how great they think that can make America be.🤦🏻♂️🤬 010
Bala @heybala.bsky.social · 19/11/2024They have the White House, the House, the Senate and the Supreme Court. In today’s times, that is as much a “mandate” as it gets, to be fair. 000
Tadhg Shannon @tadhgs.bsky.social · 19/11/2024A "mandate" with less than 50% and a smaller margin than 2016? Sounds more like wishful thinking than reality. True mandates are earned through unity, not division. 020
Popular @popularprogressive.bsky.social · 19/11/2024It wasn’t a landslide at all lol It was a smaller margin of victory than we thought at election night However it’s still sort of a massive wake up call that this is the first time a Republican has won the popular vote in 20 years He tried overturning the last election guys and he won after that… 1171
Z @tlzxoxo.bsky.social · 19/11/2024The fact that we’re still focusing on this as if any of it is legitimate is terrifying. Russia has interfered with this election and there is proof, we have to be unashamedly loud in pressuring Biden to protect us from this fascist takeover. It’s his duty and it’s our duty to speak truth to power. 000
Jason Irvine @jasonirvine.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Man, there will be a date. And that date is called January 20th. Yikes 000
Just Janet @janet610.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I hope everyone has checked to see if their vote was counted. Mine was, but I have a friend whose vote was not. I am in Minnesota. Here is where I checked. mnvotes.sos.mn.gov/abstatus/index and www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-vo....mnvotes.sos.mn.govBallot Tracker: Status of Minnesota Absentee or Mail Ballot - MNVotes 000
Wanda Jo Chandler @jojofr.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Boy Howdy! They love to swing that big old word around. Makes them feel all special or something,puts a little lift in their shoes. 000
Alecks Joans 🏳️⚧️ for research purposes only @disinfowarrior.bsky.social · 19/11/2024It's looking more rigged than it was before. I know, worlds weirdest coincidence, directly proportionate to how much my guy wins. I'm still waiting for an appointment. 040
𝔻𝕁 𝕊𝕦𝕓𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕣𝕒𝕚𝕟 @djsubterrain.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Once the dumber people finally figure what he's up to, I would expect that to dip to less than 20% 160
DavidM @dsmasterson.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I saw your video on Election 2024. I think you missed the issue of excess "bullet ballots" in the 7 swing states. If, as has been suggested, there were 600K such votes (add in Musk) that could swing states if they are fraudulent. Did you read this letter?? substack.com/inbox/post/1...substack.comInbox | Substack 000
Lieutenant Titus @lieutenanttitus.bsky.social · 19/11/2024The issue is the vast majority of the population will not learn this. We have a national news issue. How do we get factual news to the population....and have them believe it? 000
Molly @cosmicrationale82.bsky.social · 19/11/2024They want us to think there was a LANDSLIDE lol.... 000
Yes ADL it was a Nazi Salute @songsaboutrainbows.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Also 33% of eligible who voted. 000
ryanmdc.bsky.social @ryanmdc.bsky.social · 19/11/2024This would be funny to ask a conservative: "do you think that if a A candidate wins x percentage of the popular vote they deserve a mandate?" Then when they respond with "yes" you just let them know that that applies to Hillary and not Trump. 😂 000
Jonathan Marshall @mossxsnake.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Thanks! That makes me feel a little bit better anyway. 000
Marveliana @marveliana.bsky.social · 19/11/2024🐇 It makes no difference. MAGA called it and that is the agenda they are going for. What will enter the History Books depends on what happens next. 🍀 000
CrunkyDevil @crunkydevil.bsky.social · 19/11/2024They don't care what WE think, they are blustering in an attempt to justify what they are about to do. These signifiers are for each other. 000
RaptorgirlSK.bsky.social @raptorgirlsk.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Because Conservatives never operate in reality. They push perception and to them that is all that matters, cause the media amplifies their narratives as fact. 030
TojOH @tojoh.bsky.social · 19/11/2024@davidpakman.bsky.social I am not going to go into election denial as that makes me no better than MAGA, but this has been doing the rounds a bit the past day or two. Perhaps this could be worth looking into: substack.com/home/post/p-...

topherwest.bsky.social @topherwest.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Wait, so Trump isn’t a fully loved, wonderful human being who doesn’t shit his diapers every hour? Next you’re going to tell me Fox, Newsmax and OAN aren’t pillars of news information. Nice try David. I know the truth is that Trump does shit himself every hour no matter what you say!! 020
Alex Delima @adelima377.bsky.social · 19/11/2024All you hear from the Republican Party is how the people gave them a mandate. Brother please…. Mandate my ass! 000
dunningkrugerfan.bsky.social @dunningkrugerfan.bsky.social · 19/11/2024This makes me feel both better and worse. Better that the brain rot doesn’t run quite as deep as I thought, and worse that we couldn’t get more folks to show up to the polls to overcome this small gap. 010
johnnyrode.bsky.social @johnnyrode.bsky.social · 19/11/2024What would that mean, if there is a mandate? #6'Elon 000
I have eaten foliage @ihaveeatenfoliage.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Solemnly swear will respect them as much as they respected Obama 0100
lex-a-frex69.bsky.social @lex-a-frex69.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Trump is not a Christian, Trump knows the indoctrination of the Christians and wants their blind faith. Their pasture says whatever and they believe it, Trump says whatever and they believe it, because this is all they’ve ever known. 000
CDElderly @cdelder.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Funny, that this one is now totally not rigged. I wonder what’s changed since 2020? 010
John @johnberka.bsky.social · 19/11/2024No surprise there, considering if Trump had lost, they'd be claiming he won 🙄 020
Sam Ghosh @samleela.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I didn't even know conservatives knew what the word mandate meant because of how they treated masks during COVID 1160
angie814.bsky.social @angie814.bsky.social · 19/11/2024They will just call it fake news; I'm so dang tired of that phrase when that is literally what they put out every day 010
PHL SportsNut @ispw8842.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Shortly after the election his win was called a landslide by many, and it was like a 2 to 3% win over Kamala - how is that a landslide? Now it has shrunk some from even that, and as you say tRump does not have even 50%. And don't try that electoral college landslide bs either. 000
Rich @engrrg.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Hopefully he won’t claim fraud, spending months and millions of taxpayer money on a nonsensical, ego-driven deep dive. 000
xpressmgnt.bsky.social @xpressmgnt.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Always remember, for the MAGA'ts and Trump sucker's reality is whatever he feeds them. Remember he told them notvto believe anything they see or hear only what he and his synchophants tell them. 000
Stellaivory @aletarossithomas.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Sorry not sorry. Too bad he's been elected .. and we have 4 + years of hell to go through 010
jjordan198.bsky.social @jjordan198.bsky.social · 19/11/2024So, one could say, it was a really close race that was too close to call? 000
TruckerMara @truckermara.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Is it true Kamala officially requested a recount from battle ground states? 000
BEARBRAINS 🐻 🧠 illustration @natebear.bsky.social · 19/11/2024In 2004 I was so made about the W “mandate” rhetoric I made a pie chart t-shirt 120
Erf the Ferf @absolutelyblue.bsky.social · 19/11/2024This just makes it even more sad that he won. Unbelievable that people didn't show up for her. She wasn't the best but she was way better than what we'll get. 020
Emcee Hammerpants @emceehammerpants.bsky.social · 19/11/2024They’re going to claim a mandate no matter what. They’re not in the “words have meaning” crowd (unless they’re talking about gender, then linguistic precision suddenly becomes incredibly important for some reason). The question is how long that illusion can survive Trump’s stupid bullshit. 040
1-blu3-fr13n-d.bsky.social @1-blu3-fr13n-d.bsky.social · 20/11/2024I thought they was done counting. So David, what happens depending on what states these votes are from because some were pretty close? 000
Zxo @zxomon.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I wonder how popular he'll be after one year, two years, three years and four years. If he even gets through all four years without the country crashing so hard it becomes a bipartisan effort to get him away. 010
vikingjj68.bsky.social @vikingjj68.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I could see him cheating simply over losing the popular vote twice... that bruised his ego bad 000
Riff Raff Rackus @basuradeldesierto.bsky.social · 19/11/2024We all knew it would happen. Shocked it took this long. At least makes me feel a tad bit better regarding the allegations of “lost/destroyed” ballots. 000
