If we were a true democracy, we would have had a runoff, it would not have gone straight to HC. And in a 2 person race, the question is what would happen with the libertarian vote (the green vote going to HC en masse). If Libertarian went en masse for DT (not saying they would, but I think it likely most would). Then with the same numbers that voted, DT would have had a 181,000 vote lead.



The point is NOT to say DT won the popular vote, he didn't. The point is that the margin is so thin out of 137 million total votes, that it is to the point of absurdity to use it as any type of validation or invalidation of the electoral college result.

Was simply referencing the others who are chasing JR's magic rabbit. Lol. Or whatever it was. My bad though - yea i should have said "me and 65 million others".
Those insignificant 3 million votes are actually the greatest margin in popular vote history. Which, funny enough, would make it a landslide. Not like the alleged landslide in one of the closest electoral college margins in history.
