Time for Democrats to get the news media to point out that "Trump lacks a mandate from a majority of American voters". And to ask Trump and other Republican politicians: "Lacking a mandate from a majority of American voters, how will you work with Democrats to achieve compromise solutions that have broad support?"
By my estimation there's still at least 100,000 votes to count in NYC. So, that figure should go down further. We know that New York likes to take its time for no reason.
Thanks for this. Bc I was going to say more people should not equal more time bc they should have more staffers, then. The quantity should correlate across the board.
They just look so stupid every election at this point. If they were a swing state, both parties wouldтАЩve called an end to this nonsense by now.
They have majorities in both houses, the Supreme Court and the executive branch. Electoral history says there is no mandate given the margins but Democrats clearly were rejected in this election. Deluding ourselves by pretending Trump was a fluke again despite winning enough ON election night won't help us win future races.
It was not a mandate but it was a clear directional change. Period.
Trump at 49.9%, doesn't change anything but at least a majority didn't vote for that diphit
Changes nothing, but it does matter. At least to me.

I expect NYC to discover a whole bunch of uncounted ballots in February or March next year. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
I'm still trying to figure out why it's taking 3 weeks to count California votes.
That I can understand. They have tons and tons of mail-in ballots. New York doesn't have that amount or percentage.
That and they do a lot of verification on each one. Apparently CA law has pretty strict rules on this, which is why it's so time consuming.

I clearly said it doesn't change anything
The truth doesn't matter. All that matters is "the story", and the story is that Trump won big.
