Gore won the popular vote against bush. Hillary won the popular vote against trump, and that imbalance has been occurring more and more frequently.
In fact if it wasn't for that jackass Comey, and the media, falsely reporting that the email investigation was reoopened, which was a lie, Hillary would have won both the popular vote and the electoral college.
As far as the view that neither party has new ideas, that is also nonesense.
The new ideas are coming from Democrats, not republicans.
The only party who has been pushing new ideas is the Democratic party. The republican party wants to roll back women's rights, civil rights, workers rights, environmental rights, healthcare rights, etc. etc. etc.
The republican party has had decades to come up with a healthcare plan, and they couldn't come up with one.
Like Social Security and Medicare, it was because of the DEMOCRATS, not the republicans.
With a 50-50 Senate, and two Democratic Senators blocking most of the new ideas and prograns pushed by Democrats, it is not accurate to say the Democrats actually control Congress.
Your premise that the only reason Biden won in 2020 was because it was a vote against trump, that is a false premise. The differences between Biden and trump were night and day, and it was those difference why more people voted for Biden over trump.
Trump made no secret when he ran that he was a racist, sexist, and bigot.
and when he won in 2016, it was pretty obvious what he stood for, enriching his own pockets using the power of the presidency.
