That was days ago, it’s even lower now.

There goes the mandate. [/quote]

312 electoral votes for Truml with 3 million more actual votes than last time. And Dems got over 6 million less than than last time. In these divisive times, with the most controversial candidate of all time, I would say that is a mandate when essentially 10 million people changed their voting behavior despite being told that the Republican candidate was a fascist Nazi who would destroy democracy. [/quote]

When a candidate doesn't break 50% support, there is no mandate. Citing the electoral college is a loser ploy.[/quote]
Bill Clinton won two elections and never broke 50%. I guess he should have resigned the Presidency to Republicans then because he actually lost because he didn’t have 50%[/quote]

Can you re-attempt the point you're trying to make here?[/quote]
Screaming “no mandate” is a foolish argument.[/quote]

It is not a foolish argument. The "mandate" argument is being used as support for Trump re-inventing all of government. He doesn't have a mandate for that. Most of the country doesn't even want that (even his voters only prioritized a couple of issues personal to them). He won a paper-thin victory in three states that decided the election.[/quote]
His mandate is control of all 3 branches of government. Just four years ago, Biden had complete control of all 3 branches of government winning by an even narrower EC margin in just a couple battlegrounds states and proceeded to impose a lot of super progressive policies. If this was a sincere argument, you would have been telling Biden four years ago to back off.[/quote]

First, you're not describing a mandate. And second, I presume you mean two branches of government (executive and legislative) and not including the judicial branch (which isn't supposed to be controlled or political).[/quote]
Okay, go and yell at your representatives that Trump doesn’t have a mandate. I am sure that conversation will go as you expect.[/quote]
