    Actually, aggregate polls predicted the second Trump victory. I was really stressing about it before the election.

      The second one… I ment the elections for his first term.

      For me as a German it is history repeating… and every day my opinion that the human population should be reduced by 90%. We are the greatest danger to all life on this planet.

        I think at least fivethirtyeight predicted a tossup heavily favoring HRC, who did actually win the popular vote.

              Ah, thank you very much. You know, we all know US-ians love their appreviations, but without the right context they are just confusing.

                I just figured it would be obvious in the context of “person who won the 2016 US presidential popular vote” mb.

                  Somehow it is annoying for a lot people when appreviations are used and people expect to know the context.

                  Would you know the Context when I talk about FJS buying tanks that not even the manufacturer liked, or the planes that became known as “the widow maker”
