I at least found this interesting. There was a point made on 538 that while Hillary had California, Trump had Appalachiafornia. An amalgamation of various states which rival the amount of votes California gave Trump a comparable number of votes to the ones Hillary garnered in California.
As for the whole "Hillary won the popular vote" meme, I really don't care because she didn't even win a majority. For all we know, Trump could have won, had there been no third party candidates. Hell, Hillary wasn't even screwed as bad as Tilden. He actually won the popular vote and by the same margin as Hillary had. There's already historical precedence for this style of victory.
Clinton's loss is a result of Democratic self packing. It's bad for a large country to be so regionally polarized like this. As a result hopefully the Democratic party will step back and re-evaluate their message so they have broader appeal.
Three things:
First: Tilden would've won if Colorado had used the PV,
unless [which is likely] the PV of that state had favored Hayes.
Two: Given how badly suppressed votes were in The South, it's possible that, no, Tilden didn't even win the PV after all. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Third: Said gap was just by 1 Electoral Vote (hence my point about CO, which didn't even use people's votes for the EV), Hillary was taken out by 74 EVs [not accounting for the absurd faithless ones] despite winning the popular vote by 2 points. No, not a good a comparison at all!
