What’s frustrating is that Mrs Clinton was always a disliked candidate, but then a well liked politician. Her poking before her senate election was bad, then great once elected.
The Democratic Party was too stupid to recognize that they need a popular Candidate not just a popular politician.
Same thing is happening with Biden to some extent. He’s gotten a lot done (even with the split congress), but if he can’t get people fired up to vote we’re in danger of getting fucked again.
And the popular vote means fuck all for the election anyway, so who cares about this system if it didn’t factor in the electoral college?
