People didn't forget. They never cared. Biden didn't win by 5 million votes (and that's not actually a significant percentage), he won by 50k votes in a few counties that flipped their states.

1st. He didn't win by 5 million, he won by 7 million. 2nd what you're talking about wasn't result of popularity, but how our election system is messed up, where some votes matter more than others. trump not even once won a popular vote. Even against Hilary he lost by nearly 3 million.
