True. But the problem is that Democratic voters are overly focused on the Presidency and don't turn out in large enough numbers in off-year elections. The reason the GOP has a stranglehold on government (including being able to gerrymander and suppress votes) is because they won big in the 2010 Congressional elections.

Based on all the reports I've seen coming out of the two candidate's campaigns after the election, Hillary was probably the only one who was even trying to win the popular vote - and it can be argued that focusing on this cost her the presidency. Bragging about it always seemed a little wrong-headed under the circumstances. (Yes, I've no doubt Trump would do the same if the roles were reversed, but he's not a role model anyone should imitate.)

>2.9M more votes than Trump

And 90M people eligible voters chose not to vote at all. For as bad as people claimed Trump was, that's a staggering number of people to just say "meh, I don't really care."
