Republicans haven’t won a popular vote in over 30 years or so. We all know its bullshit, democrats just have a vested interest in keeping up the illusion.

This is a fatal flaw of forgetting that your vote affects state politics which, arguably, is more impactful on your day to day matters than federal issues.

Also if you push your state more to the left, the greater odds of the NPVIC being triggered which automatically enables a national popular vote.

George W. Bush won the popular vote in 2004.

Republicans win the popular vote in the past 30 years except for that one time America was super bloodthirsty and wanted a hawk in the white house

And it only took checks notes 9/11.

1/3 is still a bad track record.

The rest of the world has it figured out that when the USA talks about democracy, it’s fucking lying. Americans still have yet to figure that out.
