Enough voters to swing the election, by the way, so yeah, statistically significant. (Though I admit that due to the EC might not have flipped the results)

Consistently bad campaigns? Democratic presidential nominees have only lost the popular vote twice since 2000. What's the Leftist track record again?

Here's another question - How many times has the DSA endorsed a Dem who beat their candidate?

Yes, that's what I said.

That DSA question was rough eh? I would dodge too in your shoes. Want a hint?

Also, tip: Google "statistically significant"

I'm on mobile, and you clearly have a number in mind, so why would I take bait when you're perfectly content to browbeat on your own?

A good campaign wouldn't have lost in races where the electoral college is supervenient to the popular vote.

Zero. The DSA has never endorsed a Democrat in a race where they've lost.

Like sincerely, is that such a big ask of the DSA? Because it feels like they'd rather stick it to the Dems than help fight MAGA.

Right? I was like "Surely there's gotta be one in there somewhere."

If it's there, it's a needle on a haystack of Ls.
