13 million more votes.
Lose two seats.

Great "democracy" you've got there America lol.

Okay, didn't expect to be debunking bullshit from the left in a Vlado topic but this point is too dumb. Three reasons this is a garbage argument:

1) CA had two democrats on the ballot for Senator. I don't know how many votes were in when you posted this, but right now CA has about 6.5M votes counted (that will go up as mail-ins are counted). Governor is more like 7.3M, so let's estimate .8M Republicans left that part of the ballot blank. Based on Newsom getting about 60% for governor we can guess that ~40% of the electorate is R, so if the Senate had actually been a two party race you'd have about +3M R votes and -2.2M D votes, reducing that 13M lead to an 8M lead.

2) Most of the states which had seats up this year lean towards the Democrats, so you'd expect them to do disproportionately well (and they did; they won at least 23 out of 35!)

3) The Democrats held 26/35 before the election, so of course they have to do well to even mostly hold what they have, let alone gain seats.
