Registered Democrats (mostly young and/or racialised) who didn't vote cost Hillary the election

Anyone who can’t examine the 2 choices they had in this general election, pick the least bad, and just hold their nose and vote is petulant and/or ignorant.

This post by @ActionAbe sticks in my mind:

Here’s a good rule: If you can’t call them on the phone to complain, blaming a person/people does not serve a function. By which I mean: Voters are not accountable. They are 100% not accountable. Attempts to hold them accountable only ever alienate them.

The DNC has phone numbers, they are an institution, they can be held accountable, and all of the blame rests there. (The RNC also has a phone, but they aren’t accountable to you.) Saying “Grr, stupid voters” is literally what people were saying to voters who picked Stein or Johnson or vowed not to vote before the election. It turns out when people say things, you should believe them.
