    What they’re saying is that 12 million more votes in States where Democrats already won wouldn’t have changed a thing, it’s the Democrats that didn’t show up in swing States that are to blame.

      It would have won the popular vote, which many on Lemmy are far more concerned about than who wins or loses overall.

        I think people are pissed that she lost the popular vote because it shows the extent of her loss and how much people didn’t care in general, but the truth is she only needed the popular vote in some specific states in order to win and that’s much less than the 12m votes people keep talking about.

          The election once again crushed popular Democrat talking points. Republicans can win the popular election, good turnout isn’t a bad thing for Republicans, and spending more leads to winning.

            The general turnout wasn’t good though, Trump didn’t get as many votes as he did in the past either.

              Except the swing states, which almost all had record turnout.
