is how many people their grousing and complaining actually convinced not to vote. After the primary and up to the election, I heard these "democrats" tell how much they hated Hillary and how bad she was. They mostly used memes spread by russia and rw propaganda machines on social media. They told their colleagues at work and in the bars how they guessed they would have to vote for Hillary, but they really hated her. Many of their audience would look at someone they thought of as a liberal saying how bad Hillary was, and, not being really liberal themselves, decided that if a "liberal" didn't think Hillary was any good, then they certainly couldn't vote for her.
Then after the election, when the inconceivable happened, all these "liberal democrats" who had held their nose to vote for Hillary started proclaiming that they couldn't be blamed, that they had voted for Hillary. Yeah. And for every one of them that voted, they had turned off dozens from doing so.
So my disgust with trump-voters, third party voters, and stay-homers extends to the "I voted for Hillary" voters who spent four months before the election stupidly doing the work of the right wing machine by griping and kvetching enough to convince many to not vote for Hillary. So if you spent the summer and fall railing away at Hillary, you did your bit to elect trump. My opinion. But I think it holds water.
