Those who lost faith in democracy because Trump won an election are simple whiny simpletons. Guess what: in a democracy the candidate you want to win isn't going to do so every time. As Matt says below his victory is weirdly a good sign that voters matter. Trump won because the Democrat party nominated a horrible elitist candidate, uniquely despised by many, who couldn't be bothered to campaign for the entire month of August before the election. Further, and at least as important, the Democrat party abandoned middle America in favor of global elitism. HRC and Obama before her, insulted those left behind by the globalists, and they finally got pissed off enough to vote for just about ANYONE who showed a little empathy for their plight. Trump won more because of what he wasn't than for what he was. If Dems don't figure this out, and it doesn't look like they will, they are in for more crushing defeats.
I thought for sure the DNC was going to get the hint from 2016 that the populace is sick of corporate funded warmongering presidents. It wasn't until Bernie got bronze a second time that I realized how bull headed they really are. I found it hilarious how close 2020 was, beating Trump was almost there for the taking and Biden barely managed to squeak by.

Only in a Republican's version of democracy can a candidate win 3 million more votes than her opponent and still be treated to a "crushing defeat."
"Trump won more because of what he wasn't than for what he was."..... There it is, in a nutshell.
Jeff, well said.
