By “popular vote,” you mean the % of people who voted. I’m talking about the country overall. Which includes people who didn’t get off work, have a handful of understaffed polling places, no good public transportation to get them to polling places, imprisoned people, people screwed my voter registration laws, etc. and that’s not even counting people too young to vote.
Your view only makes sense if you ignore literally everything about the broken US electoral system and all the other systems that touch it.
All these people made to to vote four years ago. Don't tell me situation got so much worse under Biden. You're just looking for excuses.
Oh so the turnout last time was 100%? I guess someone should go fix the data then.
