68.1% support Trump 30.84% support Harris 1.06% support 3rd party

FIFY. Please stop pretending that it wasn't a landslide. Please stop pretending that Americans don't support fascism. Please stop pretending that you're not responsible.

Anyone got a source for these numbers?

Sounds like we need to run someone some of those 36% would be willing to vote for. Voting against the other isn't working anymore.

No. The answer was even more centrists and shitting on progressives even harder. Don't worry, it'll definitely work next election, trust me.

Hitler also got roughly the same third of votes...

So many didn't vote. Can they vote to a single third party so we don't have to deal with this two party system please.

Also would go further into pointing out... of those 31.74% that did vote for it... it's not a mandate for things that he didn't run on... or even ran against.

Say trump took a shit ton of credit for promising to never cut social security and medicaid. When his mind changes from what he promised, the "mandate" arguement is even worse.

In a hypothetical world where lets say someone did run, promised a lot of things, and won with 98% of the vote, so that we could say they have a mandate. The mandate still only would apply to the things they actually claimed they were going to do on the campaign trail. If they are doing the opposite of what they promised the mandate is completely bullshit even in that scenerio.
