hillary won the popular vote too in the 2008 primaries too

too bad you don't win for things that don't matter. accept your loss you snowflakes!

I will never, ever understand people who think posting a map and sorting by area is meaningful.

Like, Jiggy is all "blah blah California and New York" and the second biggest blue part of his map, after the West Coast, is in ****ing Texas.

That's an iffy use of the word delusional.

Who is not accepting it? Jiggy is the one who's writing detailed posts about how dictionaries have gotten words like "popular" and "national" wrong for lo these many centuries.

The popular vote is not even an accurate reflection of popularity. It is totally meaningless under the current electoral structure.

If the popular vote decided the election the numbers would be significantly different.

Regressives, still hallucinating about things that don't matter, like the popular vote in the Presidential election.
However, if you want more statistics, have at it:

But look at the map of New York. By Jiggy's own logic dems are unpopular in New York.

JiggyMac, almost every word in your post is wrong.

How do I know what I'd expect? Well, because I am me, I know my own thoughts. It's almost like magic.

No.


I never said they didn't have a shot. Indeed, they did have a shot and to be clear I'm disappointed he lost. This does not correct wil318466's logic error where he states that
It would have been a big deal if the Democrat won => it is a big deal that the Republican won

I know what nationally means but apparently you do not.

na·tion·al·ly
ˈnaSH(ə)nəlē/
adverb
in a way that relates to a whole nation.
"a nationally recognized brand"

We have a handy way of measuring popularity in "the whole nation". We asked people, in the whole nation, to vote and then we counted the votes and this was the result of that counting:

Clinton: 65,844,610
Trump: 62,979,636
Others: 7,804,213

As you may know, 65844610 > 62979636 so we can conclude that Clinton was more popular nationally.

Also, you may want to do some further research here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York as you will find that California and New York are actually part of the United States and thus are, in fact, included under "nationally"

Well, being popular where the people are is fairly important for being considered popular, I know this is high level math but I'm confident you can grasp it eventually.

Again, what does this mean? Is it supposed to be some kind of deep thought or unexpected "whoah" moment that if you take >10% of the population away from the USA, Trump wins the popular vote? Would one be unable to produce this same result in the other direction by taking away 40 million people's worth of Trump's best results?

None of this makes any logical sense or point, it's all just poo-flinging.

The trolls will always win their war of attrition in the end because of the sheer difference in word count leads to a huge discrepancy in expended energy.

The only math that matters is this:

Number of electoral votes won:
Trump: 306
Clinton: 232

You can't make the claim about national popularity if you can't back it up.

If you actually believed this, you wouldn't have posted the other things on this page that you did.

It appears we are seeing a very specific gas-lighting strategy that's been hatched for the trump-base to use built around words like delusional, hallucinations, ect. It's aimed at folks like you and me, but it is really for the trump base- to reinforce the narratives they have ingested about folks like you and me.

lol. Says winning the popular vote doesn't matter seconds after trying to redefine "popular" because it didn't matter so much.

I'm sure Trump's ~39% approval rating doesn't matter because 2016 polls were off by 1.2%. Really he's very popular.

Nah, we just speak the truth. It's quite simple.

lol. Right.

Nah, you're just all balls, no cock.

You want to trust polls from people who got the election wrong? Yeah, no thanks. Next argument: they were wrong then, but they're right now. LOL!

Log in, see the I'm with herp derpers still clinging to the all important popular vote win, laugh, log out.

They were off by 1.2% then so they're off by 20% now. Don't stop believin'.

Another stupid post. Thanks.

Rasmussen got it right and had Trump at 50%...so perhaps they are. But good luck to you in your fantasy world.

Claiming you're being gaslighted - how many points is that worth in the oppression Olympics this year?
