   @kai Translated into plain English, that reads "Democrats need to curtail their extremism to get elected". I don't think that is true, being that there was a Democrat in the White House right before the current occupant.

      @lnxw48a1 But it's not a popular vote; it's a game.

      "Democrats confront numerous disadvantages in our electoral system. House districts can be gerrymandered […] The Senate favors low-population-density states […] The Electoral College likewise inflates the representation of low-population states, giving a substantial edge to Republican presidential candidates. And the Supreme Court oversees it all, with its lifetime appointees nominated and confirmed by the GOP-advantaged president and Senate."
