I'm thinking Biden will have to win by 10 million votes
And maybe 15 million? What do you think?

2. I think 5 million is that number I heard.

11. 5 to 6 Million

Seems to be the number, based on a few pieces I've seen.
Provided, of course, that 10-15% of that is from states that were close in 2016, like WI, OH, PA.
Two big states get flipped and domination in the expected blue states & it's an electoral blow out.

5. Total number in the popular vote nationwide means diddly squat.

Just ask Al Gore or Hillary Clinton.

Electoral college is where it's at.

12. 2 points is the inflection point.

Hey DU-Moron! It's Electoral College votes that matter. States! It will not matter if Biden (or a Dem to be named later) gets 99.9% of CA's and NY, and IL's votes if Trump wins as many states as needed to be elected President.

25. The popular vote matter so little to me. 270+ EC votes is that matters.

Biden could get 30 million more votes than Trump, but if they are in the wrong distribute we'll have 4 more years of Trump.

29. That Helps GOTV?

Sounds like green party "my vote doesn't count" rhetoric.

Note to myself--when trolling on DU, never make a sensible point unless you want to run the risk of coming under suspicion.
