Maybe but I'm pretty skeptical. If he wins the popular vote he's going to win upward of 35 states. New York and California should be worth like 2 to 3x the EC votes they get. It's hard to overstate how much just those two states skew the popular vote for dems.
The only republican to win the popular vote in my lifetime was Bush still coasting off of 9/11 jingoism.
I will say that if he wins the popular vote that should be the end of the current form of the democratic party, if you can't convince the majority of people you're a better candidate than the guy who audibly shits himself on national television while slowly staying back and forth to 3 different version of Ave Maria I think it's time to admit you're cooked.
But then again losing easily winnable elections to republicans has been the dems entire strategy for decades now.

I think it's fair to say that the dem party is basically controlled opposition.
