This was literally the worst electoral map for the Democrats since 1988 when Republicans won Illinois and California.
Yeah but she almost won the entirely symbolic popular vote, she's basically the next FDR!
Republicans love to pretend that where people live changes their value as a person.
Non sequitor. Not what I said and not a Republican.
Campaigns are about winning swing states, those are just the rules of the game. Kamala lost that game worse than any Democrat in nearly 40 years. Maybe the rules we have aren't fair, and if they were different, she would've lost by a smaller margin. But then, both campaigns would've been run completely differently, the same candidates might not have even been the nominees, etc.
By the actual rules of the actual game, Kamala lost extremely badly.
Like it's just republicans.

Democrats love to pretend that the popular vote is what wins elections
