nobody would have had a *real* popular mandate. the us population is 318 million people, of them about 231 million people are even eligible to vote, of *them,* only 134 million people voted. even if it went by “popular vote” at best hill-dog would have ~20% of the population behind her. admittedly still .006% more…

you know that a cso doesn’t make any policy desicions, right? its literally a placating role for a man that helped him get into office

for what its worth, as someone who’s on neither side, based on the stories i’ve read Obama really didn’t do much of anything in the way of compromising either. its just that the republicans were much more upfront about it

yeah, these aren’t cherry-picked at all
