People who didn't vote for Hillary didn't like Hillary. Expecting people to plug their noses and vote "the lesser of two evils" when they have other options and they hate your candidate is just self-serving. Fuck the DNC. They didn't target young voters well enough. Fuck Hillary for all of her skeletons. Fuck Trump for being such a piece of shit. Fuck the media for all of the lies they spread and air time they gave Trump. Fuck Trump voters for being too stupid to see through the mist. Bernie supporters? Most of us either voted for Hillary or got out of the way while the two major parties fucked over the country, yet again. Fuck us for trying to get a third party in there to stop this madness, right? Had I been in a swing state, I'd have voted for her and hated every second of it. I don't blame the Independents and Dems who didn't vote for her. Actually, scratch that, Dems probably should have stepped up to the plate, but a shitload of you didn't.
No, see, you've got it all wrong, Shell. I've got it on good authority that Hillary lost because all of the liberals kept pointing out that Trump was running a racist campaign and tha his supporters were condoning that prejudice. They didn't like being told they were supporting racism, so they went and voted for the racist...out of spite or something, I guess...
