    First, I haven’t seen any evidence suggesting that the volume of protest votes would have impacted the Electoral College.

    Doesn’t matter. They voted not knowing if they were going to be the deciding factor or not.

    all this infighting does little to hold the Democratic Party accountable for running a campaign that encouraged people to literally stay home.

    They ran a cleaner, less hateful campaign which focused way more on policy than the Republican’s campaign.

    It’s not the campaign that’s the issue. It’s stupid Americans voting against their own best interests because they fell for propaganda and because they always hold the Democratic party to a higher standard. The brunt of the blame lies squarely on the American electorate. Our government is a reflection of our ignorant electorate.

      And a much more hateful campaign than the same party’s campaign four years ago. Feel like leaving that out invalidates everything else you are trying to push.
