> I'm a Trump supporter so take this with a grain of salt.

Immediately predict lame rhetoric about how bad the media is.

> When he said the media was dishonest, he was referring to CNN, WaPo and the mainstream media (excluding Fox News).

Oh right, the bastion of correct reporting, fucking Fox News. Questioning Obama's birth certificate. Warning about his terrorist fist jabs. Rightly admonishing him for asking for Dijon Mustard.

> As a litmus test... the fact that almost every liberal in America is yelling at Trump more than they're yelling at the DNC

The current president vs something that happened 8 months ago.

> doubled-down on Hillary the loss wasn't just technical––it was a landslide[1]

It wasn't a fucking landslide. 13th closest election in history by electoral college, massive loss in the popular vote. This is why Trump supporters need a fucking reality check and should maybe try some of that mainstream media. You are hooked on his propaganda and lies.

You're busy in this thread, but you only seem to bring anger and ridicule. Maybe calm down a bit and foster useful discussions?

But looking through your history it seems like that may not be what you want.

> massive loss in the popular vote

Can we stop talking about the popular vote? As long as people know the electoral college is what matters, the popular vote is tainted. People who live in states that are not going to swing either a) don't vote or b) vote their ideal candidate.

HN is a place where we are typically critical of any studies methodology yet we hang on to a number as skewed as the popular vote. Imagine if you were polled and told "No matter what you vote your state is going red/blue. How do you plan to vote?" That is basically the question and it means the popular vote means very little in the end.
