>>>Or maybe just the less of 2 evils. An intelligent asshat or non asshat that was an imbecile. It was time for a change.

>>Well, no. It was 49.8% of the people that voted from him, which was ~44.4% of the voting age population.

>You posted a lot of words to still not prove that claim

A response was that Trump was the 'lesser' of the two evils.

Someone then claimed Trump got less than the majority of all votes.

Then I pointed out that when you narrow it to the 'two evils', which was the original claim, that it quite likely the majority.

In fact, if you restrict to the two evils, trump did get the majority of the vote of the 'evils.' And if you forced those who voted for someone other than the 'evils' to pick an 'evil', something like 80+% of them would have to pick Harris in order for Trump not to get the majority vote of a runoff for the evils. Possible, but I think unlikely (also consider a very large portion of those 1.x% remaining were libertarian votes who tend to lean more R than D).
