Your comment is supercilious and confidently-incorrect. The most-charitable interpretation is that you have been misinformed ever since the last election from some preliminary estimate of incomplete counts.
1. Of all ballots, only 49.7961% were for Trump. [0]
2. Of ballots where someone made a non-blank choice for President, 50.1976% were for candidates who were not-Trump.
So when I explicitly wrote about a "minority" of "voters", that really does mean an an actual mathematical minority of the people who actually voted, thankyouverymuchdamnit.

- try_the_bass 4mo agoWow, you're pretty obnoxious. Guess you're right, though
- Terr_ 4mo ago> This is such a dumb thing to try to play semantic games about. [...] Wow, you're pretty obnoxious. As the saying goes: "Don't start nothin', won't be nothin'."
- pirates 4mo agoYou tried calling them out with a “gotcha” to make yourself look smart and then got told off, but they’re the obnoxious one?
- try_the_bass 4mo agoNo, I called them out on something I thought they were wrong about because they were being super obnoxious in the way they were stating it. Turns out they were right, but instead of losing the attitude, they doubled down on the toxicity. When I admitted they were right, they doubled down again. So yeah, pretty obnoxious, all told.
