Why is it very difficult for the GOP to win the popular vote?

[Crumpets]

The simplest answer is probably just that they don't pursue winning the most votes as a goal.

But neither do the Democrats.

At least for presidential elections, I'd agree, but I do think Democrats take into account trying to make as many people as happy as possible with their policy proposals and trying to push for generally "popular" policies in a way that Republicans don't.

For anyone that thinks their ideas aren't appealing, keep in mind they have managed to keep the Senate since 2015, and gained US House seats this election.

It's just that their ideas aren't appealing where the large population centers are.

They also think Biden will take their guns too. Likely their positions wouldn't be anywhere near as popular, even with their base if they knew their actual positions and didn't get the "but the libs" propaganda nonstop. Like how they blame "the libs" for big businesses not creating jobs from Trump's glorious tax cut.

This is more a lesson for how Democrats should be politicking rather than why the GOP is bad. There's only been one president this century who has said on tape he wants to take people's guns without due process, and it wasn't a Dem.
