Also, noting the distortions of the electoral college/winner-takes-all model is fine but also please notice that if just about *0.2 percent* of the voters in a few states had voted differently, Trump would have won re-election. Now even fewer chances to fix those distortions.

Fine. This was answer to people saying why are Dems concerned? If they can read reality, they should be very concerned. Look at the House—the Dem margin may be a few as ~six. Look at the state legislators—real loss, which feeds gerrymandering. Courts, too.https://twitter.com/elkmovie/status/1326549975006806020 …

Of course, not. I just don't find self-soothing or magical thinking to be a good basis for optimism. https://twitter.com/nijusar/status/1326558612886614016 …

house losses weren't ideal. But with the exception of Obama's first term, that was the biggest popular vote margin since 1988, with a fully decisive E.C. win. US elections are (unfortunately) tribal by design, so while MAGAism remains disturbingly unvanquished, solid win.

but agree with you that we're in real trouble down the road since we weren't able to fully dig ourselves out of this.

Maybe. But he lost by 3 million votes last time, and by 5 this time. So the problem is purely the electoral college.
