Dems have only won the pop vote (more than 50%) three times since 1980, (2008, 2012, 2020). Repubs have 4 times. (1980, 1984, 1988, 2004)

Winning the popular vote means having more people vote for you than against you. Anything else is winning a plurality of the vote or just losing.

Yes but their 3 times have all been in recent years, while the last time we won was 20 years ago, and our 3 times prior to that was in the Pleistocene epoch, i.e. in the 1980s.

Yes, the voting system has been severely rigged since 2004, and not in the favor of the GOP.
