minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoNope, we won’t. I say that because my claim is specifically that the EC is not the only thing going on. If the EC breaks with the popular vote next month, it still won’t be the only thing going on.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month ago We’re looking at a possibility that Trump would not only win the EC, but the overall popular vote, as well. You claimed that Trump might win the popular vote, and that’s very, very unlikely (but not impossible). That’s the only part I was referring to.
