@ididntknow It is not illegitimate. Anyone paying attention knows this.

@SomeMichGuy so you’re not paying attention then, number one, how does a man that got 81 million votes, making him the most popular president ever, to now the most unpopular president ever, in one year, if he called a get together tomorrow he’d be lucky to have a dozen people turn up, yet President Trump is so unpopular he regularly has 80 thousand + turn up up, explain that one

@ididntknow You don't even have your basic facts correct.
But you have never been long on facts, just long on opinion.
Go play with sg.

Of the estimated 66.2% of the electorate who voted in the 2020 US Presidential election, Biden received 51.3% of the vote, or 81,268,924 votes.
At 51.3% of the popular vote, it does NOT make him "the most popular president ever".
You are the one "talking shit".

He was by no means the least popular, but also not at all the most popular.

@SomeMichGuy Wikipedia has been debunked,

@ididntknow 81 million votes, a majority, but a slim majority.
You are confusing
"getting the most votes ever" which I think *is* true,
with
"most popular ever".
It is the difference between a comparison of absolute numbers (total vote *counts*) and a comparison of relative numbere (the *percentage* voting for a candidate). Popularity is always measured by the relative number, the percentage voting for a given candidate.

Really? The entire Wikipedia?
That's odd, because I have found very good articles in mathematics, science, history, etc.
As with better scholarly writing, most articles are footnoted; there is even editorial oversight to make sure that articles which are thin on references, or make claims without citations, are noted, to guide the user.
There are even articles flagged for bias, and which warn the user of it.
If you expect it to be perfect, it isn't, but you can check references on any properly-footnoted piece.

@SomeMichGuy Even the man that created Wikipedia has said it’s less than useless now because it’s so biased, as far as politics is concerned
