2016 he was screwed, sure.

But in 2020 he lost fair and square. He couldn't win even among the Democrats. Saying this as someone who went and voted for him in that year in the primary.

For as popular as he is he didn't win when he could've. I think people just don't want to admit that no matter how individually popular he is or how well those policies poll that America won't vote for him or it. Either due to apathy or laziness or stupidity or whatever.

I'd love to be wrong but that appears to be the conclusion.
