    Yes, democrats have to win by a landslide in order to squeak out a victory. Meanwhile, republicans can lose over and over and over and still rise to power. No republican has ever entered the presidency by winning the popular vote in my entire lifetime.

      I’m not sure how old you are, but George Bush won the popular vote in 2004. That was the last time a Republican won the popular vote.

      Culturally speaking we already won, politically speaking, the Right won’t take a fucking hint and they don’t have to because to Democrats unrigging the game would be as wrong as rigging it in the first place.
