That's fine, as long as you think one candidate is equally bad or good as the other. One candidate is going to win, there is no election I'm aware of where the candidate was perfect, so the electorate is always making a choice between the lesser/better of the two, not giving carte blanche on mandate

In fact, it should be viewed as 2/3 of eligible voters supported Trump. 1/3 by voting for him and the other 1/3 by not voting. If the 1/3 that didn't vote were going to vote for him anyway it would only increase his win margin, if they would have voted for Harris, by not voting they helped him win.

Where I live, Standard Time in the summer means the sun would rise at 4:00 in June and set and 20:00. So, by staying on ST, I gain an hour of daylight when I'm sleeping & lose an hour of daylight when I can actually enjoy it... No thanks. btw most people switch their weekend sleep by an hour anyway.

While some people may be surprised by this (and other Trump inhumanities), no one should be. As to who voted for this, 1/3 of eligible voters actively voted for it and another 1/3 effectively supported Trump by not voting in the most consequential election in the last 100 years (at least).

The U.S. under the Trump regime has made it clear that no country can or should rely on the U.S. for its' economic and defensive capabilities. Allies are necessary in the world, but reliance on any one nation is existentially dangerous. Economic and technological dependence is at least as dangerous.

Consistent with the Trump regime so far. Well, maybe for a while jobs won't be as strong as we said, and prices may not come down, in fact tariffs may raise prices for a while, and the wars we were going to solve as soon as we got in are hard because the combatants are unreasonable. Liars & idiots.

1/3 of eligible voters voted for him, and 1/3 couldn’t be bothered to vote in the most consequential election in the last 100 years. He’s in power, for the second time, because 2/3 of Americans supported him…either directly or indirectly.

Given their behaviour, you really have to wonder how many of them have savant syndrome.
