4 reasons why Joe Biden can win popular vote by 6 million — and still lose

When first elected, America’s two most recent GOP presidents lost the popular vote. Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by about 2.9 million popular votes but lost, 306-232, in the Electoral College. In 1976, had 9,800 votes flipped in Ohio and Hawaii, President Gerald Ford would have defeated Jimmy Carter, despite the Democrat’s margin of 1.7 million more votes. In 1960, John F. Kennedy edged Richard Nixon by 110,000 votes out of 69 million; however, a switch of under 30,000 votes in Illinois and Texas would’ve elected Nixon.

Good. A 6 million army to overthrow the despotic corrupt American regime if this happens. Trumpers like to label non Trump supporters with all sorts of cute names but refuse to acknowledge this group is sizable and not at all on the fringe. Look to history at outcomes of countries where the will of the majority is ignored for long and you will see where this all goes.

Yeah but those are typically the most pathetic among us. They will whine, sure, they might even vandalize cities controlled by the DNC who allow that kind of thing to happen, but those ineffectual turds won't actually do anything of substance.
