“Remember that Republicans have lost 6 of the last 7 popular votes”

Math wasn’t a strong subject for her, was it?
“”“Remember that Republicans have lost 6 of the last 7 popular votes””””
Remember that there is no such thing as a popular vote in a US presidential election.
Also remember that Democrats have not conceded a loss on election night since the 1980s.
This isn’t a “new tone” in divisive partisanship.
The Left has been stuck in this argument for decades now.
But her argument is moot. The electoral college is our system. Popular vote means little. If we moved to that we get into the tyranny of the majority which the Left should oppose because that's how you oppress minorities, right? I thought we were about "diversity" and not just those who are in NY, L.A. & Chicago? Look at how those areas are run, look at NY's covid-response. Cuomo is a virtual mass murderer for his policy on nursing homes. Those folks show by the people they elect and the failed policies they live under that they do not get to decide how the rest of us should live.
I lived under that kind of tyranny in California where it was the central coast from L.A. to SF that controlled the state despite the millions and millions of other people in California and they wouldn't let us leave. They were happy to take our taxes though.
“Republicans have lost 6 of the last 7 popular votes”
She’s technically correct. It’s not the popular vote that matters. Of course, in those same elections only Obama (2x) and W (2004) actually received a majority of the popular vote. Everybody else failed to hit the 50% mark, win or lose. And then there was the ‘Rat cheating. All the ‘Rat cheating...
If you extend it to the last 10 elections, it splits 4-6, but you add another 3 true majorities on the Republican side, and by crushing margins.
