this term seems redundant
the mandate of the president is to do the work he was hired for
how could you be in the job without a "mandate"

That's not what "mandate" refers to, in the context of this discussion. If it were an electoral mandate, Biden would have won handily, and you 'd have seen the Senate flip and the House expand its D control. That this didn't happen shows that the will of the electorate is still divided.

Because they are moderates in right-leaning districts who need to be opposed to those policies in order to win. Pelosi actively ran on far-left policies, so it's not surprising that they couldn't avoid guilt by association. That is exactly why they are so upset.

If the takeaway is that these moderates would have won on far-left policy programs, that's just delusional.

Arizona is down to a ~40k vote difference, WI ~20k, PA by ~13k (though it's will get larger), Nevada by ~20k, Georgia will go one way or the other by a few hundred votes.

These are tiny differences in a country of 330 million.

Well, I'm asking more about percentages than anything. Is anything under a 2% margin close?

and what about womandate? doesn't seem inclusive enough for Biden's posse

Quote (Black XistenZ @ Nov 6 2020 10:35am)

Depends on how polarized a state is. A 2% winning margin is girthy in Florida, but narrow in Ohio, if you know what I mean.

Generally speaking, I would say that any margin below 1% is very close and does not come with an implied mandate.

You need to talk to snipa. He would have beaten that thought out of you 10 years ago.

My mom made the equivilant of 40 an hour as a seamstress in the 80s.

Believe me, we'd be happy starting out making what our parents started out making. My mom made $20 an hour in 1988 as a seamstress. Those kinds of jobs just don't exist anymore in America. I'd love to make $44 an hour working on a factory line sewing jeans lol
