WTF?

We lost a very, very important election, and the repercussions of that may last for decades. Hillary may not have been the ideal progressive candidate, but she was by far the better choice on the 2016 ballot. Now, we have Donald Trump. I rest my freaking case. I don't know how you voted, but I know how enough people voted to give Trump the presidency. You know who was the Green Party candidate? Enough people voted for her to swing the election to Trump.

Bad cess to them. They are "the voters," too. You said not to blame the voters. Screw that noise.
