He won with 49.8%
it’s 50.8% of the votes that went to either Kamala or Trump
Not how that works, but okay.
not really but you know, those are the votes that decide who becomes president
People like you keep the RNC DNC power sharing effective dictatorship scheme going.
"You can vote for all the pointless affirmation ribbons(D) and/or cruel scapegoating® you want, so long as you vote for soul crushing capitalist metastasis, for profit mass murder confidence schemes including our entire healthcare system, mass homelessness, and perverse levels of economic inequality(D&R) at all cost.
Freedom!"
how does voting other parties help?
Without people like you claiming our two corrupted, coconspiring parties shouting that they’re the only choices, we could have a real choice.
Surely you see how it’s in the best interests of the DNC and the RNC to declare themselves the only rational options, but still, sometimes they lose. AOC is a good example of this in a primary, they still despise her for “stealing” that neoliberals seat, and Sanders is another as an independent.
Republicans/Democrats are only as inevitable as we believe they are, and some people under their thumb sure to enjoy trapping others under said thumb. With either of those parties in charge, we are not free. This is theater, a game they cooperatively play against us while taking the same bribes from the same oligarchs and driving social wedges between us to keep us too hateful unite against the economy they both protect from us. The supposed democratic equivalent of “you can have any color you want as long as it’s black.”
Things will continue to decline until their political duopoly ends, or we collapse by their hands which is looking sooner rather than later. We sink a little slower under Democrats because pointless ribbons don’t destroy the social fabric as scapegoating does, but we’re still sinking under either.
the duopoly is not gonna end by voting. you gotta take down both parties for that to happen. good luck
I still can’t believe half the country voted for this…
Good news, they didn’t!
Are you really going to nitpick about 1%? 49 is basically 50
Just gonna point out that only like 40-60 percent of the country votes on any given election year. So being generous Trump was only voted in by about thirty percent of the population at most.
Alright nitpick #2 “half of the people of the United States that are adults and citizens” y’all are so autistic sometimes. Just understand the intention of the comment and move on. I don’t need you to give me an aKcHuAlLy comment.

The resemblance of a democracy is still to uphold. Very lightly. But…
50.9%
This is democracy and maths call the victor!
