...yet here we are. Every person in the media keeps telling us how many votes Trump got and it's on Biden to reach out to those voters.
I have no doubt Biden will but holy shit that narrative is annoying when no one seemed to care about the millions of millions of Hillary supporters who, in a plurality, voted against Donald Trump four years ago.

(18,579 posts)Telling Democrats they have to listen to those who voted for Trump. Nothing makes me sicker than to hear him called moderate.

(17,609 posts)Don't you know the RepubliCon playbook by now - it's ALWAYS "reach out to US, and if we're not in the majority, well, it's the right thing to do.
Oh, and if we've got the majority (sayeth the RepubliCons) - "Elections have consequences!"
So, here you go, RepubliCons: I'm thinking you've earned this YUGE basket of eggs.
Now, GO SUCK ON THEM!!!!!!!
The media is so consistent about this:
"There is a mandate" = Republicans won the last election, no matter how small the vote margin. "Be bipartisan and don't overreach" = Democrats won the last election, no matter how large the vote margin.
