But that’s not how the election is won. Is it that hard to understand that the rules of the “game” might dictate how the participants play the game? It’s like a baseball team complaining that they got the most hits but lost the game. Or a football team who gained the most yards or got the most 1st downs but complaining about losing the game. You’re using a metric for victory that doesn’t equate to victory according to the rules of the game.The democrat won the maj vote all times.
Conservatives basically concede some states (and the large number of popular votes in them) because they think they have little chance of winning the EC votes associated with them. The thinking being why spend the time and resources to get peoples votes who won’t equate to EC votes. If the election were a popular vote that strategy would have to change and the vote totals would likely change as well. That might or might not equate to a change in the election results.
What you can’t do is use your own metric for victory and claim your candidate of choice would win if only we used your metric after the fact.
