Hillary Clinton is our best candidate let's convince the whole primary field to drop out because the democrat donors want Hillary and it's her turn. Said the democratic party.

Also my vote in Delaware didn't lose her the election. We have popular vote on a state by state basis. Can't blame 95% of the democrats or independents that didn't vote for her. They should be polling in the areas that will decide the election. I think the stat was 20,000 or so votes in the middle of the country decided it.

True but what’s the 95% democrats number mean?

You can't blame 95% of the democrats or independents that didn't vote for Hillary because their vote didn't decide the election.
Pennsylvania was lost by 46,765 votes Michigan was lost by 10,704 votes Wisconsin was lost by 22,748 votes

These states are what lost the election a total of 2.18% 80,217 votes out of 14,630,990 votes in these 3 states. 6.32% of the people in America decided that election as there was 231,556,662 eligible voters and 138,884,643 voted.

Wouldn’t they be required for the states she did win?

Let me phrase it the opposite way...she won the electoral votes in other states despite the democrats and independents in other states who didn't vote for her. You didn't lose delaware when I voted green party for president in 2016. I am talking about the 95% of people who didn't vote her did nothing wrong only the 2-3% in these 3 states got Trump the win.

I hear ya. But everyone who can vote, should vote. That’s all. It’s a duty as well as an honor.
