What were the state by state vote counts? Even go down to county by county, the urban centers had decreased turnout while the sticks had higher turnout. Top line numbers don't tell the whole story, nice try.Gonna have to disagree on that.
Popular vote:
Obama 2008 69,476,897
Obama 2012 65,915,795
Clinton 2016 65,844,954
Gonna have to come up with a better answer, I think you need to look deeper. I'll give you a hint where to begin.
How many elected Senate seats and House seats, federal and statewide were lost during Obama's reign? Please quote an answer to both questions, we can work from that point.
The senate and electoral college both have a strong rural bias where the uneducated country folk are gaining an outsized influence over politics. That and gerrymandering have lead to democrats needing dramatic vote advantages to gain back proportionate representation.
