16. "Democrats have to overachieve at the polls"

Why is that acceptable?

That's my point. Why is it considered normal that we have to "win" by 70% in order to pull off a squeaker?

3 million votes should have put Clinton in office, no matter where in the US those people live. Furthermore, Biden's 7+million vote win was almost overturned by a similar margin. About 100k votes the other way in certain states and we'd be in the second term of a bloated orange anus who lost even BIGGER the second time.

That is not acceptable, and Democrats should have made it a top priority. Since they didn't, they may never regain control next time they lose it.
