I'm getting the hang of commenting on US politics

- if Trump scrapes home in the electoral college, but loses popular vote in 2016, the Democrats are out of touch.

- if Biden scrapes home in the electoral college, and wins popular vote in 2020, the Democrats are out of touch.
yes, it's partly about polls and expectations.

but why is it hard for the right to admit that the only reason that American presidential elections are close is because of a perverted electoral system, which is operating in a way that was never intended?
Trump got a lot of votes. If I were the Democrats, of course I would want to understand why. But Gore, Kerry and Clinton got a lot of votes too and the right didn't spend the aftermath of those elections saying that those votes should be listened to.
As @samfr points out, why is it only the Democrats who have to reflect when they win elections as well as when they lose them? https://twitter.com/Samfr/status/1324279411194105857?s=20
