Trump got elected because of a quirk in the electoral college that allowed him to win with 3 million fewer votes than his opponent. That has never happened before. In 2020 he almost won despite losing by 8 million votes.
If you think that's the strategy Democrats should pursue -- "but he fights! who cares about the popular vote" -- then make that case.
Who exactly are the 80,000 persuadables in swing states that care enough about abortion to pull the lever for Hillary -- who, in the debates with Trump, made a big deal that choice was on the ballot, and which Trump also bluntly promised -- instead of Jill Stein or Gary Johnson?
Maybe those Stein voters could have taken the predictions of the Trump threat seriously and voted for Hillary instead. Then Hillary would have won the electoral College. They learned their lesson and after seeing the Trump threat in action, they voted for Biden. Same story in 2000. If the Green voters had voted for Gore in Florida, bush would have lost.
