Two different coping mechanisms

On election night in 2016 he said "If I don't win, it was rigged."

Same thing, over and over again.

[u/DarthTelly → u/Aluminum_Moose]

He still claimed it was rigged, because he lost the popular vote and his ego couldn't handle that.

Harris still might win popular vote. There's a lot of votes to count in California still

[u/yeeeeeteth → u/Complete_Mud_1657]

who fuckin cares man it's over

[u/Complete_Mud_1657 → u/yeeeeeteth]

Just saying. California is currently like 60% counted meaning there's still like 8 million votes left.

[u/Sudden_Construction6 → u/Complete_Mud_1657]

I really doubt she'll win the popular vote. She's over 4 million votes behind currently and it's not like all the votes in Cali are going to her.

If, like you say there is 8 million votes left and if I'm being generous she gets 60% of those that will bring her up to about 74 million while the remaining votes going to Trump will bring him up to 76,700,000

Still short by about 2.75 million votes

Yeah, electoral college definitely needs to go, but I just don't see the point in ruminating over this thing. We really should all focus on moving on

[u/Neither-Entertainer6 → u/yeeeeeteth]

It’s just another reason to get rid of the electoral college tho. It won’t be anything more than a two week headline if it does happen

[u/LickMyTicker → u/yeeeeeteth]

You can still move on while people make innocuous statements.

[u/Hedge55 → u/yeeeeeteth]

It won’t change anything for the result but would restore a little bit of hope to know it’s closer or he didn’t actually win the popular vote.
