    It was never unlosable. People have forgotten how bad Trump was and blame everything on Biden. It’s been an uphill battle.

    Although I still think he should have stepped aside for someone with less baggage.

      All Biden had to do was be unmemorable and he was guaranteed a second term. His ambitious foreign policy decisions (to put it lightly) and his lack of ability to pass meaningful change despite holding both chambers of Congress in his first 2 years doomed him.

        He didn’t hold both chambers. The two “democrats” who supposedly won in Senate even changed their party affiliation after winning.

      People didn’t forget. They never cared. Biden didn’t win by 5 million votes (and that’s not actually a significant percentage), he won by 50k votes in a few counties that flipped their states.

        1st. He didn’t win by 5 million, he won by 7 million. 2nd what you’re talking about wasn’t result of popularity, but how our election system is messed up, where some votes matter more than others. trump not even once won a popular vote. Even against Hilary he lost by nearly 3 million.
