Also interesting to see who handles their shit, as in who proceeds with what they've got, as opposed to who whines about what they wish they had. No surprise to see a direct correlation with people who yearn for the pre tube & social media days. And pre internet

I do have genuine empathy for those who actually believe all the doom and gloom fear mongering, it's pretty fucked up that the media preys on the fearful pretty much 100% of the time in a huge variety of clickbait articles disguised as news... but don't really have much time for the incessant whiners. Voicing concerns is one thing (if you are ready for feedback, and willing to accept that every single 'bad' thing ever, actually turned out ok, or passed and you made it to the other side where improvements came about) - crying like an 8 year old girl about how unfair everything is, and how hillary actually 'won' despite the fact that pretty much the whole world knows the US election has never been decided on total votes cast, is... well... leaving yourself wide open to being trolled by joshua.

That's not aimed at anyone specific btw
OMG you don't understand American politics!

In America when you win the presidency, like Trump, you win a gold presidency or silver presidency.

Gold presidency: Win Electoral College + Majority vote = Mandate

Silver presidency: Win Electoral College only = NO MANDATE

This is a very simple concept.

You confuse people saying he lost the popular vote and has no madate , with losing the election. They are not the same.
