This might be her only legit blaming though probably for the wrong reason according to her. The media made it seem like she was such a slam dunk that many democrats didn't bother to vote. Democrat turnout was abysmal besides Cali and NY which were going blue anyway.


this is definitely a possibility, though imo a more likely metric is that trump support was under-predicted because people were not responding honestly on surveys

the actual gap between surveys and turnout polling wasn't large, it didn't take a lot of that to swing things. 538 et al did present a path to victory for trump and simply noted it was very unlikely since clinton had a nontrivial lead in each state he needed. a 4% swing in each of those states resulted in the 0.1% victory margins that handed each over.
