No , the reason why Democrats lost is because Democrats themselves didn ' t go vote . Something like 60 million people stayed at home . I championed for Bernie , and then sucked it up and voted for Hillary . I did my civic duty , but I have zero respect for people who stayed at home all salty because Bernie or someone else they wanted , lost the primary . And you blaming me , for why Democrats losing is laughable . I don ' t give a shit who you vote for , as long as you go vote . But I will call you a pissant and criticize you even on my death bed if you bitch about the current outcome while , on election day , abdicating from your civic duty by going to the polls and voting . <| sep |> How polling has fallen . If 9 EWDBzK 4 This is what happens when polling places get paid to attempt to change public opinion instead of capture the current pulse of public opinion . You ' ll notice that the first waves of national polls match up with what happened in the election as far as Trump vs Clinton . They were ordered to go back to the drawing board and all they do is change the way they ask the questions to yield more desirable answers for employers .
