    Can’t even blame this on the electoral college, lmao.

    For weeks after the election Bluesky libs were so annoyed, so huffy, and so tedious.

    A normal rando who doesn’t follow politics 24/7 would say “Trump won the majority of the popular vote.”

    Libs would swarm on them. They would correct them over-and-over again: “I’ll have you know that Trump did not get a majority of the popular vote. He got ~1.5% more than Kamala but less than 50%.”

    The number bounced around a little I think the final number was Trump got 49.8%. Oh my god! Definitely not anywhere close to 50%!
