Dems won popular vote last 4 presidential elections. Previous streak for Dems, 1948. For GOP, 1908

2. So why don't we control the House and the Senate too, then? Goes to show how much

redrawing of district lines and / or boundaries have given the republicans a lopsided majority in the Senate and the House was finally won back in 2016.

3. Unfortunately republicans gained a state controlled legislation this election

New Hampshire of all places. Weird. They hold I think 27 states and will gerrymander the heck out of them or at least try.

4. The Senate has more to do with voter disenfranchisement

Some states make it too hard to vote.

5. The GOP majority in the Senate is the result of...

... the rural/urban divide, with rural voters getting FAR more senators for their lower populations.

There's 15 states with 30 Republican senators, and their combined population is LESS than California and their 2 Democratic senators!

With that kind of advantage for rural voters, it's amazing that Democrats come close to the majority in the Senate in our current political climate.

Edit: And the same principle can happen in various state legislatures too.

6. You said it best...such a lopsided and grossly unfair advantage that we must overcome...

the Supreme Court is one also, where by extension, this lopsided advantage extends into supreme court picks that favor the obviously tilted Senate biases towards republicans.

One that perhaps Mr. Biden can address by expanding the supreme court in size. The Senate, perhaps can be expanded to 4 per state, I don't know. It just seems wrong that 30 senators is less than the population of Calif. and its two senators.

The House of Representatives I think is reapportioned (which is why the Census is so important), but there are grossly unfair advantages that need to be fairly addressed.
