Ah, yes the "popular vote" argument. There's a big reason why we don't elect
the President via popular vote.
Research why the Electorial College was created in the first place to see why.
But here's the tl;dr:
If the President was elected by popular vote, then the areas that have large
population concentration (think New York, (maybe) California) would effectively
elect the President.
The Electorial College system was created so that the President needed to have
WIDE SPREAD support across the WHOLE country.
Hilary certainly didn't have that support (especially calling most of those
people "deplorables") so she lost.
It's also why Trump will win in 2020. Easily.

*Laugh* It's obvious that Biden is in early stage dementia. He's already
disqualified to run.
