So, you think Biden won different counties than Obama did?
They are both Dems and would have won the same counties.
How did Obama win 20% more counties than Biden, but get 15% less votes than Biden when they won the same Dem counties as each other?
You are telling me an old, white guy with dementia, who also didn't campaign but stayed in his basement in Delaware, had more enthusiasm than the first black president who campaigned everywhere and popularized the slogan 'YES WE CAN'?
And you are telling me Dems went overwhelming for Biden, even though Biden lost the first 3 primaries in his own party and was short on money when he was competing against lesser candidates within his own party?
You can't be that stupid. So, I assume you are a dishonest person to make such an argument.
Again it's simple: The US population has grown in the last eight years, and more people voted. 30 million more people voted than in 2012. It's just math. Hopefully you're not so stupid as to not understand. Obama had a lower vote total because way fewer people in total voted in 2012. This is not rocket science.
LA County has 10 million people. If Obama wins with five million and one, and Biden wins with seven million and one, that's two million more votes.
Furthermore, you don't need a plurality of counties to win an election. Just 144 counties is more than half the US population.
Do I really have to explain this to you? You don't win an American election by winning the most counties, just like you don't win the Electoral College by winning the national popular vote.
I sincerely hope you are simply being disingenuous pretending not to understand. You are using the vagaries and idiosyncrasies of the American system to spread disinformation and lies.
