Seriously, America?

For those of us who admire what you've as a nation accomplished, regardless of how individually ignorant you are (which is frankly much greater than what we could achieve) we don't understand why:

Would you elect a man who wants to throw it all away?

Just know that the vast majority of Americans are asking that same question. He didn't even win the popular vote. What's interesting about that is he's losing popularity even among those who voted for him. You can blame America but please don't blame Americans. Except the lazy, apathetic 40%+ of us who didn't care enough to vote. You can blame them all you want.

False.

The vast majority is not!

Do you get out much?

Lol

Ynotisay · M

Dude. 25% of people voted for him. He lost the popular vote. His popularity is on the decline and he entered the White House with the lowest approval ratings since those kinds of polls commenced.

Doesn't mean you can't support him. It has nothing to do with that. It's just the truth man. Why argue against the truth? I'll never understand that. I really won't

Booyeah · 41-45, M

@Ynotisay: The same polls that said he'd never win. So they're pretty much worthless. If you want to base the foundation of your argument on quicksand, go right ahead.

@Booyeah: "False?" Because of what a fucking comedian thinks? I truly don't understand the point of that. No need to explain it though. I'm pretty sure I don't give any fucks.

@Booyeah: You've jumped the tracks man. Good luck dude. You're the guy who's really going to need it.

@Ynotisay: "Because of what a fucking comedian thinks?"

As opposed to what some random fucktard on the internet thinks? Oh, I guess we should just listen to you without question.

"You've jumped the tracks man. Good luck dude. You're the guy who's really going to need it."

Whatever helps you sleep at night, 'homie'.

@Ynotisay:

Ynot ... I heard all this math and polls and arrogance...before

But the real voting did not come close.

It wasn't within 6 sigmas

You own 83 metro cities and 140 Universities ... and 1 large state CA.

At street level, you lost 2,800 counties
306 electoral votes
30 states
32 governors
33 legislatures
Control of budget in 42 states
Enough states to have a constitutional amendment 38
The house
The senate
The supreme court
90% of the EMT, Police and fire departments
Lost half of New England

This extended a 26 year trend of strength in non-urban areas

In 2018, 10 blue senators, in states trump won are up for election.

In 2020, 8 more electoral votes move from blue states to solid red states.

To counter this, blue is running 85-90% in non-growing urban areas, where vote participation is near maximum.

You are stirring yourselfs up... and making believe you represent the majority.

Your skill and track record with polls and math is not good

Ynotisay · M

@Booyeah: No no sweetie. I asked you about 800,000 invalid votes. You said it. Now be a freaking MAN and back it up. Don't be gutless now. Let's see if you're a little boy repeating bullshit or you're a man with some intelligence.

Booyeah · 41-45, M

@Ynotisay: Lol. You don't even know where you are in the space-time continuum, and you think I live in a fantasy world. Oh, how precious.

Ynotisay · M

@questionWeaver: Hey dude. You lost me when you said "you." I'm done.

Ynotisay · M

@Booyeah: THAT'S what you come back with? Really? Damn. A liar and gutless. That's a tough way to go through life man. Glad I'm not you.

WoodyAq · M

@Ynotisay: this debate is fascinating. So we are arguing over how many Americans, or what % of them are idiots?

Booyeah · 41-45, M

@Ynotisay: "Glad I'm not you"

The feeling is mutual. I'd hate to have live life as a pseudo-intellectual rambling moron. But, I guess after a while you get used to it, right?

Ynotisay · M

@WoodyAq: Well, what I'm arguing for is truth. I don't hate many things but I DO hate people believing and repeating lies. Have an opinion...support who you want...do what you want...I don't care. But I DO care about the truth. Can't help it.

WoodyAq · M

@Ynotisay: Alternative facts, you mean?

Ynotisay · M

@WoodyAq: That's exactly what I mean and why I get so frustrated. I don't like seeing people manipulated OR being reminded of how easy it is to manipulate.
When the NY Times becomes "fake news" and Breitbart becomes the "real facts," we're in uncharted waters that has very real consequences.
