Yes, Trump will win if he gets one more vote than Biden, but the more he loses the popular vote by, the more justification people have for protesting. So if he wins on electoral college votes but loses the popular vote by a landslide, at least it shows what The People are actually thinking.

minus-squareKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·5 months ago It matters how the people that report on it define it. No, it matter how the strategy analysts view the raw data. Not the media. Third parties are pretty much invisible for 95% of people until they start breaking into the horse race. Only if you focus on winning. Bernie didn’t run in the primaries to win. He ran to influence.
