Because of the horseshit electoral college.

I agree that the electoral college is bullshit, the work of people who really did not know what they were doing. But also the Clinton campaign spent resources in the final days trying to ramp up the popular vote margins in New Olreans in Chicago.

But there also were millions approved for transfer from Clintons campaign for use by the DNC which, under a plan devised by Brazile to drum up urban turnout out of fear that Trump would win the popular vote while losing the electoral vote, got dumped into Chicago and New Orleans, far from anywhere that would have made a difference in the election.

There are real ways in which the choices made by Democratic officials and those around them matter, and blaming voters for criticizing those choices isn't a useful means of getting them on board.
