Where does your certainty that people who stayed home would vote for Clinton come from?
- seanmcdirmid 10y agoTurn out numbers. The people who stayed home were mostly the same demographic that voted for Obama in the last election: Minorities, millennials. Trump didn't magically win over Obama voters, conversions were rare.
- emp_zealoth 10y agoYet apparently the vote ratio was not that great for Clinton in those demographics either - apparently even 30% of non-white voters went Trump, and what I've seen it was only slightly in favor of Clinton in that demographic too Again, what makes you think that the people didn't stay because they sure didn't want to vote for Clinton? (Disclaimer :I am not an US citizen, I identify with Bernie) I would have never voted for Clinton, even if you paid me.
- matwood 10y agoFor as vocal as the never Trump people were, there was also a quieter never Clinton feeling across many groups.
