A 1.5% popular vote win--or as it'd be called anywhere else, a win--will put his margin at #50 among all 55 presidential elections in which the popular vote winner became president.
And his electoral college margin is #43 among all 60 presidential elections.
Not a landslide victory.

It’s really not possible to change votes at the scale of typical national election margins. It really isn’t
184M - registered and unregistered - did not.
This regime is dangerous and vengeful, and can create a lot of havoc, yes. But they are not a majority, nor invincible, by any stretch.

With the exception of Nuclear War.
But, Rs are going to roll like they have a mandate, and honestly, I imagine Ds would have too.
The why is hard. Was she too linked to Biden? Was it identity politics? Was it fatigue of “MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION EVER” every 4 years since 2004? Was it plain old misogyny?
Also, I think she may have gone too heavily into the celebrity culture by featuring so many of them at her rallies. Middle America has a love/hate mentality when it comes to the elite.
As for her message, well, she wouldnt do anything different than Bidens deeply unpopular administration. smdh.
So. Much. Hindsight.
She had 100 days to run a Presidential campaign against a man who had been campaigning for FOUR YEARS WITH the support of all major Xian Nationalist / Fash-owned legacy AND new media.
She was a STRONG candidate with a GOOD TEAM who won a hell of a lot of votes.
I've talked to quite a few depressed people this week, who say that racism won in America by a landslide and that's just what the country really is. But
At the very least, there's enough of us to have each other's backs if things get really crazy.
Drone strike on power grid.
Russian bombs on planes. A genocide and Putin.
Bezos takes out the Washington Post the only news organization that has historically been able to check the White House.
And almost again.
They always do.
Insist on a forensic audit of swing state votes. Voters are not being counted.
Something smells rotten.
