    Yes, because of the “super” delegates which was like 20 people who can automatically outvote the other hundreds of delegates.

      They are talking about popular vote, not how delegates voted. And they voted according to popular vote. Every time.
      I don’t know what will happen if the people will vote differently than delegates would like to, but so far it never happened

        People voted for her, and Biden, because they thought they could win the general, because they were “popular” during the primaries. Not to mention the whole media misrepresented his policies, attitudes, supporters, etc. It’s very easy to convince people to vote against their interest with the proper tricks (which Trump as our current President-elect proves).

          If you add Hilary votes in the 2016 primaries and Biden in 2020, you will get less than 30 millions. 10% of population, 20% of voters. Not even quarter.

      It was real close except for the millions more people who voted for Hillary.

      Edit: sorry for the transparency making it hard to read on dark modes.
