>Sorry but this sounds like Brit liberals carping about the Brexit vote. Every adult US citizen had their chance to influence the Primary results. Both these two scored the most popular vote. That means that more US citizens voted to "follow" them than not to. You can't expect to convert your dislike of the result into a declaration that they're the least trusted or worst in America or any of the rest of it.

>I did do some research to understand how this happened and I have to ask: did you register and/or vote in either primary? Seems to me that these primaries are similar to Brexit in which voter turnout was very low amongst pro-stay demographics that failed to get off their proverbials and vote when they had their chance. Now they seek to undermine the result, refusing to look in the mirror to acknowledge that their own behavior is undemocratic and lazy

Arguably true

>since their decision not to vote contributed to the outcome just as surely as the person who voted leave.

False dilemma. A non-vote or abstention is not the same as a vote for the opposition.

This is all the sausage-making of democracy, at its finest :-/

Yet another shining example where Nunnuv Thabov would have won in a landslide, if she'd just bothered to throw her hat in the ring.
