I take it this comment is directed at a Republican voter. Let us hope you do not imagine his implies the Democrats have done real well with the popular vote. Look at the numbers below and on the link -- the turnout numbers are mostly terrible. Popular vote wise, people do not like either party. That saddens some of us who wish one or both parties could sway people. But with the media culture of gotcha politics spilling over into the polity as a whole...You've lost the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections.
2004 George W. Bush Republican 50.73%
2000 George W. Bush Republican 47.87%
1996 Bill Clinton Democratic 49.23%
1992 Bill Clinton Democratic 43.01%

You didn't mention that Bush lost that popular vote. Damn shame about the FL steal that Jeb Bush and his concubine pulled off too because if Al Gore had been the president we wouldn't have gotten marred down in an unnecessary war in Iraq and 4500 young Americans would still be alive not to mention the 35,000 seriously wounded and the trillion borrowed dollars.
Also in 1992 Ross Perot got nearly 20% of the vote in a three man race.
the label "progressive" is a joke for the Lib/democrats, because they are always Regressing.
