**WARNING** RIGHT WING TALKING POINT: There's no Biden Mandate, America accepted Republican policy

Bull fuckin shit !!

We do not accept Republican racism and stupidity and hatred for the average working person.

Fuck that.

TRUMP CHEATED PERIOD !!!

WSJ has an op-ed that is started to be repeated in M$M bubble think based off ONE EXIT POLL of black men from the midwest.

Dems need better messaging no doubt but Trump OPENLY cheating with other countries and screwing up the mailing system and voter suppression SHOULD be taken into account of anything that was not up to expectation for dems.

Nope. There is a mandate, Democrats won the vote of the people, the actual people by quite a lot.

The only reason this wasn't over on Tuesday night is the EC, which doesn't represent people at all.

Count ALL the Votes, I keep telling the rethugs in my life.

Make sure each one is valid, but COUNT ALL THE VALID VOTES.

THEN we will know.

Stopping at half-time because your team is ahead doesn't work in football or in an election.

We won the same number of electoral votes, but HAVE a popular mandate of 4+ million votes.

The DeJoy scandal will also have an effect, and should be something that gets pushed in Congress repeatedly. The Republicans were CAUGHT trying to rig the election on a president's orders. Whether or not that will make a damn bit of difference to the MAGATs is arguable, but it gives a lot of added impetus for electoral reform.

Where was their goddamn mandate in 2016?? Didn't stop theses fuckers from doing whatever the fuck they wanted to push through, no matter how odious.

They can kindly sit down and shit up and let the adults take care of governing.

It's the same old "working the refs" crap they've done for decades, and Democrats speaking to media people who repeat it need to (metaphorically) slap them silly.

And can use his power as he sees fit, just like Trump tried to do. In the end, it doesn’t matter whether Biden has 270 electoral votes, 306 electoral votes, or more. Moreover, the popular vote suggests that Biden does have a mandate. This latter point should be the Democratic response. Unlike Trump, Biden will have won the popular vote by a significant margin.

Remember the same BS then. If Biden had won 180 million to 25 there would have been no mandate.

Forget the fact Biden will win PV by maybe 4 million votes. No mandate sure.

Whatever it takes, we need an army on the ground led by Stacy Abrams to get us those seats.

If GA has senatorial election runoffs, and Dems wind up with 50 senators, then maybe we can talk about mandate. Without the Senate, there's no mandate, no power to legislate, no power to approve judges, justices, or even cabinet members. All we'll have is executive order.

And, if we somehow get to 50 senators, we still have a Republican supreme court.

Winning the White House is great, it stops the dismantling of the country.
