I like that talking point, and that the traitorous orange anus got less than half of the presidential vote.

I know that popular vote doesn't have any effect on who is president, in case someone wants to give me a civics lesson, and there's no indication in the article that Harris has any chance of closing the gap anyway. And the remaining ballots aren't going to change anything in the electoral votes either. But it's a nice talking point to have, when some fuckhead starts in about his overwhelming mandate.

But since he's a minority and a BIPOC (color orange), maybe we should be respectful? (sarc)
