    The ‘funny’ thing is that Trump never had won. He gained fewer votes than Hillary in 2016…

    Similarly, Bush imo is an illegitimate president, as he didn’t gain more votes than Al Gore.

      Via the popular vote, yes. But in the US, the popular vote doesn’t decide anything. Should it? That’s a different question. The point is they won the election legitimately.

      We have work to do, but peddling election denial misinformation isn’t it.

      You saying this has the same practical significance as pro-Trump people who think Biden “didn’t really win” in 2020.

      Which is to say zero.

        Difference is that my saying is based on a historically vested principle, simple as: one man, one vote. Instead of: your vote doesn’t count, only the oligarch’s does.
