Opinion: Here's a cheat sheet for Thanksgiving's inevitable politics talk


If we don't listen to public health warnings, we could end up trying to strangle each other across the turkey table. But refusing to recognize the results of a not particularly close democratic election is well beyond politics as usual in America. So, as a cheat sheet to counter deeply held disinformation, here are some baseline facts that could come in handy:Joe Biden won the election with more than 80 million votes -- the most ever. His 306 electoral vote total is the same number that Donald Trump declared a "landslide" four years ago, when he lost the popular vote by a then-unprecedented nearly 2.9 million votes. This time, he lost the popular vote by more than 6 million.
