President Trump's broad platform was "America First"
America-hating democrats despised that notion.
So how did that work out for America? No new manufacturing plants opened up in my town while Trump was president. Instead a bunch more chain stores shut down, such as Pay Less Shoes for starters. It was the same over much of America.
Trump lost because the Democratic Party took advantage of the expansion of Vote-by-Mail and Third Party Ballot Collection-Harvesting that was made readily available because of the pandemic. It's the ONLY way the Democrats could have added over 12M votes from the previous election without a major population increase.
That's it, end of story
Didn't Republican Legislatures in some states go right along with it?
Trump lost because of his ego, he was unable to pivot his campaign because he was blinded by his own “greatness”. When in reality he got outdebated by a walking corpse in national television.

A lot changes in 4 years. Certainly Trump had no answer for a pandemic. He had no answer for the failures of his 2016 platform. He had no answer for how he was going to continue his successes of his 2016 platform. He had nothing.
BIDEN'S PLATFORM: Bombard the country with COVID carrying illegals, to keep the COVID pandemic going strong.

But saying he lost "because he had no platform" has to rank among the most ludicrous of statements.

Trump didn't have much of a platform for his 1st term, other than abolish ObamaCare and make Mexico pay to build the wall. He accomplished neither and lost the House to the Democrats in 2018. If Trump and his policies were popular with the majority of the people, that should have never happened.

But crucially not enough. If you want to switch to the popular vote deciding the election, I'm sure Dems will be fine with that.
If you're happy with two parties that just say vote for us because we're not the other guys, go ahead. It lets them off the hook when they win and nothing changes for the better. It's time for people to look outside of the two parties IMO, they do nothing to earn such passionate allegiance.
But that stuff has been debunked time after time. For starters, the worker caught on video who appeared to be stamping out one fraudulent ballot after another was merely making new copies because the original ones were damaged and couldn't be run through the machine.
