He did not lose in 2020 by a landslide. That's just not true.

Biden won the election with 306 electoral votes and 51.3% of the national popular vote, compared to Trump's 232 electoral votes and 46.9% of the popular vote.

So suggesting he has no chance of winning when he came that close four years ago and he's likely not lost a huge number of fans is a little premature.

Numbers are even worse when you consider swing states. AZ, GA, and PA swung Biden's away by a net 40,000 votes. Razor thin margins, for any Dem candidate.

People fixate on the popular vote, but California going Blue by an extra million votes doesn't change anything

It was only like 43000 votes across several swing states. Not by much at all.

Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump did however lose the popular vote in a landslide and the electoral vote in a landslide.

The EC swings hard because it's winner take all. A few thousand votes can account for dozens of ECs in deference.
