I want everyone to remember that. He received 7,052,120 more votes than Trump and won by 4.45%, and yet he barely won the election anyway. It took that many people to overcome this massive failure of a country's way of electing the President.

In a normal system, this was a decisive victory. In reality however, it was a by the skin of your ass victory. And typically the incumbent receives fewer votes in their second election. 2024 could very well be once again the minority in this country controls the executive branch.

winner got the majority of electoral votes in every election

note that electors pick the president (not the citizenry, which would be the case in a direct democracy), so the system (a representative democracy) is working properly

Well yeah he did that even when he won the 2016 election because he couldn't handle losing the popular vote.

He claimed it was rigged when his show didnt win an Emmy 3 years in a row. Two times wasnt enough for him.

it's undeniably really pitiful considering he was running against a uniquely unpopular candidate during a national crisis that was at large being pinned on him

Just shows how important to realize this isn't over and we need to all vote just as hard as we did this election next election.
