Candidate wins in a landslide election against someone who had not won any votes in a presidential campaign on her own merits ever and you call that game over for democracy?
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoThat wasn't a landslide. To see what a landslide looks like, look at 1972.
- cynicalpeace 2y agoOK he still won. Unless you will claim, like MSNBC already is, that it was stolen by the Russians.
- ball_of_lint 2y agoWhere do you see that? (not that MSNBC is a monolith, but) This article claims exactly the opposite: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-steal-election-2024-win-rcna178974 https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-steal-elec... > Trump didn’t need to file frivolous lawsuits before federal courts. The Supreme Court wasn’t given a chance to throw the election his way in a redux of 2000’s Bush v. Gore. The false bomb threats to polling places that have been ascribed to Russian actors don’t appear to have had any measurable effect. There’s been no reporting that indicates that the promised hordes of MAGA-trained poll watchers blocked any Democratic voters from casting their ballots. > He just won.

He won a record 525 electoral votes total (of 538 possible), and received 58.8% of the popular vote [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_United_States_presidential_election#Results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_United_States_presidentia...
