His anger was directed at those who either did not vote, or voted third-party and are now suffering from buyer's remorse. His specific example was of a guy who expressed outrage that Trump had won --and told the writer that he needed to "get back to work," presumably to mitigate the damage of a Trump presidency-- and then admitted that he had voted for Jill Stein.
I do think that a lot of people who either stayed home or voted third-party did so because they thought Clinton would win and they could then spend the next four/eight years smugly chiding their fellow liberals that they "didn't vote for her." But Trump won and now they're panicking and relying on those time-tested tactics of sobbing on Youtube and hashtagging their grief, neither being a viable substitute for actually getting out and voting for the outcome you either want or prefer.
Fair enough, but a lot of blame for this goes to the MSM, who made it seem that a Clinton win was in the bag. My daughter voted Johnson thinking that a Clinton win was certain.
