Most everyone else on the left I've seen bandying this about has done so with a decided bent to delegitimize the result.
If that's not you, then I misread ya. I apologize.
I'm rarely legit confused on here but the reaction to my inane posts stating that this event is statistically interesting has been surprising in its intensity even on TD poli standards.

Actually, it was a 2% margin of defeat in the popular vote. Millions, yes, but a statistically trivial margin, tbh.

Eh, it's probably a combo of folks on here knowing you're liberal and eager to argue with one. Happens to the best of us, myself included

Yeah I guess I should started by defining "trivial"
Highly subjective. My bad. quote:

It's fascinating, and will become even moreso from an historical perspective as this election recedes into the rearview mirror. My kid will study this year's election in high school. Crazy to think about.
