@zaxs_cat@C_Indy911@WajahatAli Who is attacking? I made a statement of fact. She lost the election, but not by a landslide. She lost it by a little more than 1% in three key states. That’s it. Simple.
@drectms2 @Leonnotspinks@C_Indy911@WajahatAli Yes. The bitterness and anger totally obliterates common sense and basic critical thinking. It’s pretty sad, actually.
@ClaytonRWalker@L08818@WajahatAli Simple. Because if she won those three states, she would have won the election. That’s why those three specific states are known as ‘The Blue Wall’. This is a pretty well known thing, and was a cornerstone of Kamala’s strategy.
@Leonnotspinks@C_Indy911@WajahatAli Wow. Take some deep breaths. Not sure of the source of your anger, but it’s not good for your blood pressure or general health. Perhaps you might consider squeezing in some yoga, or morning walks to clear your mind? I wish you a healthful path forward.
@AlabamaBrewer @AlexJohnso41513 @C_Indy911@WajahatAli It’s ok, Chris. Sadly, many people don’t understand how presidential elections actually work in the U.S.
@AlexJohnso41513 @C_Indy911@WajahatAli It’s pretty simple, Alex. If she had won those three states, even with all the other states she lost, she would have won the election. That’s why those three states are known as ‘The Blue Wall’.
It wasn’t a landslide, not even close.
@C_Indy911@WajahatAli He won by 177,000 votes spread across three states (WI, MI & PA), or a tick over 1% of the total vote count in those three states. Not even close to a landslide, even by modern election standards.
@L08818@WajahatAli He won by 177,000 votes spread across three states (WI, MI & PA), or a tick over 1% of the total vote in those three states. Anyone who considers that a blowout, needs to check the meaning of the word ‘blowout’ in a dictionary.
@Antagonist_1a@jackilewan@TristanSnell Sure, John. And when you’re paying $230 for a pair of shoes and $3,000 for an iphone, remember this stupid tweet.
@gudjente@TristanSnell They did. And in return China jacked up their tariffs on U.S. agricultural products which, among other things, undercut thousands of U.S. soybean and cotton farmers. It was so bad the US Treasury now pays these farmers to avoid financial devastation for them.
