[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every thread on here confirms that we Democrats don't believe that our popularity has ebbed much since 2008.

We can't learn, and we can't change, so we've pinned our hopes on...Trump becoming unpopular?

He beat the Bushes, he beat the Clintons, he beat the Bidens.  [b]He set records for most votes ever gotten by any Republican Presidential candidate [/b]in history in both 2020 and 2024.  But surely the American people will soon embrace the disliked Democrats out of...anti-Trumpism?  [/quote]
It's telling that you only count the number of votes and even then have to qualify that number. In 2020 Joe Biden set the record for most votes by a presidential candidate. Period.
Now to put Trump's' 2024 victory in perspective: He won 77 million votes and the US population was 340 million. In 1984 Reagan won 54 million votes and the population was 236 million. Which means that Reagan got slightly more votes per capita than Trump did, if all you're doing is counting the number of votes for that candidate. But that disregards the fact that 2024 had a higher turnout percentage than 1984, which means that Kamala Harris performed better than Walter Mondale. Which is why Reagan won the popular vote by 18 percentage points, while Trump won the popular vote by 1.5 percentage points. And oh yeah, Reagan won the electoral vote 525-13.

TL;DR: Reagan in 1984 was a landslide. Trump in 2024 was not.[/quote]

NP but PS the population grows over time🙄[/quote]
