Well that is fine, thanks for clarifying your statement. The thing is the margin of the popular vote is often referenced as a sign that Biden is popular, and when it comes to the actual election process: he isn’t. It is a common misconception that appears to extend all the way to the office of the president of the united states.
Thats ridiculous given that something like 8,000,000 more people voted for him but what do I know?
Yea, the exiatance of the electoral college is pretty ridiculous.
About the electoral college?
Popular vote does not and did not elect Biden. The margins of a select few districts have the deciding weight for the office of the presidency.
I’m aware of that hence my comment about how crazy it is that someone who got 8 million more votes barely won.

The popular vote is a meaningless statistic when it’s not how you win the election.
