Huh? Biden won the popular vote in 2020 and Obama in both 2008 and 2012. The only outlier was 2016. (edit: thanks for the clarification.)
The Democratic Party needs to accept that 6-7 million voters either switched sides or stayed home; and if they want to win again, they must change tactics accordingly.
This is true, but it doesn't invalidate grandparent's idea either. Maybe Dems should run a reality show star.
They only need to change policy enough to keep from pissing off deep blue states and to flip a few swing states.
