Landslide?!? Historic margins?!? M-kay...
Would that be her whopping 2% margin, or her not quite 3 million vote margin? Biden did do better, 4.5% and 7 million vote margins. Historic? Not even close.

The only historic number was Biden's vote total. Largest in U.S. history. Of course, when discussing total votes for a candidate, that puts 4 other candidates who received more votes than Hillary ahead of her: Biden, Trump, and Obama, twice.
Nothing about Hillary's numbers were historic, except that she had the largest popular vote margin of anyone to win the popular vote, but lose the EC. For Biden, only his totals are historic, not his margins. As for landslides, Nixon, Reagan, LBJ, Roosevelt, et al. have that shit locked down. Nixon beat McGovern by nearly 18,000,000 votes and 520-18 in the EC. That, is a landslide. Hell, Nixon's popular vote margin was more than the total popular vote received by any one of some 35 presidential election winners, starting with Harding who collected a mere 16 million votes.
