Joe Biden defeats Trump to win US election

[TysonRoux]

FACT CHECKED - Trump received more votes in this round than in 2016.

That's 100% true, but not sure why you're emphasizing that fact seeing as its not what wins elections.

The Orange Snollygoster lost in the Popular and Electoral votes.

Did Biden win by a little or a lot? The answer is ... yes.

A closer look at the 2020 election and past races shows why the Electoral College/popular vote divide is increasingly worrying.

Biden’s victory another example of how Electoral College wins are bigger than popular vote ones

Looking back at presidential elections since 1828, the winner’s electoral vote share has, on average, been 1.36 times his popular vote share.

The Popular Vote

Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes.

The Electoral College

This year there were no faithless electors. So the final tally in the Electoral College was 306 to 232. That, of course, is the reverse of the margin Donald Trump won by in 2016. He called that a “massive landslide victory.”

Meet the GOP freshmen taking on the ‘Squad’

A new, diverse class of Republicans preps for battle with the left — and hopes of winning back the House.

www.politico.com

On the first day of Congress’ freshman orientation, four incoming GOP members realized they shared a special connection: All had first- or second-hand experience living in communist or socialist countries.

The crew quipped that their family histories with brutal dictatorships and their aversion to Big Government basically made them the opposite of the liberal “Squad” that has surged to political stardom in the House.

Excellent article - new Republicans with actual experience of living in communist or socialist countries (note: unlike AOC who like many lefties in the Western world has only experienced socialism at a theoretical level). Can't wait for the YouTube clips with them completely shredding AOC

Most Americans, left or right, have never experienced socialism or communism so that's hardly novel to "leftists". Well, suppose they do have some forms of socialism as most countries do.

Yeah because wanting people to have health care is socialism.

Lol. You Dems are all the same. Pick one plank of her policy and say is that socialism? Look at the overall picture of her platform. Even Dems describe her as far left, it's not just conservative media.

Yes because to the Dems wanting universal health care and free College in America is far left in other developed countries it's policy.

AOC is not a socialist.

That's why the world richest country won't even provide stimulus checks because that's socialism.

Ya nee I'll think you'll find that the key ingredient missing from her platform compared to the places where those repubs came from is

Well let me cross reference to make sure...

Ah yes, here it is: "Brutal dictatorship"

And if you were in any way honest about this topic you would acknowledge that that factor is actually the only important one that made the places where they came from bad.

NOBODY in the Congress or Senate from the Democratic Party is Communist. Nobody talking to you on this forum is Communist. Literally, not one. You're so busy being scared of a straw man you are being oblivious to reality.

Orwell really nailed you lot (the Right) when he travelled to another country to go and fight a war against them, in the name of Socialism.

I strongly suspect our right wing Orwell fan boys (none of whom have read further than 1984) had no idea about Orwell's anti-fascist activities

1984 is explicitly anti-fascist. Twisting it to fit a right-wing narrative is a lazy cynical form of cultural appropriation.

In what looks like a campaign spot released almost two months after he lost the 2020 election, President Trump shared a video to Twitter highlighting moments from his presidency, from the building of his long-promised border wall to his triumphant introduction of newly-minted SCOTUS Justice Amy...

"It is not normal for the president to share campaign videos nearly two months after he decisively lost," wrote Vox reporter Aaron Rupar.

"Trump stands for our flag," the video says on closing before showing a clip of Trump giving the flag a hug.
