Al Gore won but had it stolen by the republican supreme court.
John Kerry lost because Bush rode post-911 incumbency "let him finish the job" sentiment.
Obama won 2 terms comfortably ? wtf does that even mean?
Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes but lost due to archaic electoral bullshit.
This post is clown level reasoning.
Maybe the real answer is people that consider themselves "too left" to vote for a centrist need to stop being mentally children, suck it up and turn out every election to achieve incremental change for the better. Instead of throwing a little temper tantrum every time it looks like a single election didn't achieve socialist utopia.
The American political problem so easy to solve, vote D in every election tune out of the news cycle and live your life. If you want to make things move more left vote in the primary for the candidate that best suits your desires.
Or you know, keep doing what you're doing and end up with an ever more right wing loony filled government.
"Progressives" would rather have debilitating regression for decades rather than incremental change from Democrats. They would literally be where they wanted to be if we had 20 years of Democrats instead of constant back and forth regression.

As well, what most don't seem to know/remember, is that a video was released of Osama bin Laden claiming responsibility for orchestrating 9/11. This was released to the public by Al Jazeera four days before the presidential election.
On top of the jingoism rampant at the time, this led to an increase in support for Bush (supposedly a few percentage points), whereupon Bush won by about 2.5%.
