Yes, bragging about the Electoral College - especially in the context of having a "mandate" when you failed to carry 54% of the nation's votes - is meaningless BS. You only get to brag about the EC legitimately if you also won the popular vote.

Of course, the GOP does the same bragging with its gerrymandered House "mandate" every two years, so nothing new for the oligarchs who hate democracy.
Bill Clinton didn't have 50%, first time he didn't pass 43% but he was legitimate president.

He had millions of more than HW, not millions less.

Republican ideology, especially under Trump, is based around the idea that people who live in densely populated areas are worth less than other people.

Well, go convince a million more Texans of that.

Baby steps...

The GOP won the House popular vote in 2016 easily. Liberals are spreading lies about this.

Doesn't count, though, right?

And lost it by a over a million votes in 2012. Gerrymandering over time discourages ompetative candidates and races. This isn't coinciden ce.

Still as dishonest a thug as ever, I see.
Our Democracy is in deplorable shape as the free world in general is in deplorable shape.
