No matter who wins, I hope it's 270-268. No fucking mandate at all.


Seems GA and CN will not do it, on the other hand PA seems really open

what exactly would this entail opposed to other results? what do you mean by no mandate


Winning by the slimmest of margins implies that the electorate does not strongly back the policies of the candidate who wins. The larger the margin of victory, the greater the "mandate" from the voters saying "we want you to enact a massive agenda."

ok so more theoretical than an actual "mandate"
yeah in many countries you have majorities, minor majorities, split governance and forced cooperation when the votes are split too sparingly
but i'd still say in usa, it's WTA winner takes all and this mandate theory is one of conceptualism opposed to actual law

right

if you leave your house with $5, all anybody can take from you is your sneakers and your tie
if you leave the house with $1000 and your 8k video smartphone, your options become more influenced by calculated risk
it's cool to just exist, sometimes. to live free and hey to drop a few pounds too
