In post-election remarks, a remarkably upbeat President Biden took his Party's loss a lot better than many of his fellow Democrats, saying "we accept the choice the country made. You can't love your country only when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, is to see each other, not as adversaries, but as fellow travelers on the road of life."
"Looking at the election returns we see that Vice-President Kamala Harris got 10 million fewer votes than I did," Biden boasted. "There wasn't a single state in which she got more votes than I did and only a few small towns where she did. She ran a well-financed campaign and had more media support than I did in 2020. I got 81 million votes--more than any other person in any previous election--using a low profile campaign. Rather than staying with a proven winner, Party leaders decided to push me aside after one bad debate. Without my coattails Democrats also lost the majority in the Senate and fell short of retaking a majority in the House."
In related news, Vice-President Harris told her young supporters "it is okay to feel sad and disappointed, but please know it's going to be okay. This is not the end of our democracy. I know I told you that Trump is a fascist, but he isn't the first fascist to be elected president of the United States. Our country has survived Nixon, Reagan, and Bush. It will survive Trump."
Is this post true, or is it satire?
Kind of sad. He really thinks he got 80 million actual votes. That chart showing “turnout” from the last five elections is a smoking cannon.
