Besides, you know as well as I do that our presidents are not elected by popular vote.
It's silly to claim that voters on the Left who did not vote or voted 3rd party had no impact on the election because they certainly did in Wisconsin.
But blaming the Clinton loss all on outside forces just makes us victims and not responsible for choices we made. But if playing the helpless victim makes you feel better, then go for it.
