US Politics: election results
US Politics: election results
In case you hadn't heard since Election Day, the popular vote was not quite the slam dunk for Trump as it appeared on the day.
In fact, Trump did not win a majority of the votes cast. He won 49% of the votes. Harris won 48% of the votes.
If we didn't have the Electoral College, and implemented ranked voting, there's a decent chance Harris would have won, if the other 3% choose her as their second choice.

Well yesterday was rough after figuring out I don't really have a job anymore because the fires burned down the entire neighborhood my job was in.
But today I feel better, and focused, and I need a job.
So if anyone in LA needs a lead host and waiter with about a decade of experience, who can also do prep work, cashiering and simple barista work for pretty much any job imaginable (I wouldn't mind trying something new):
We should talk :D

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias.
He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
