Always. I take it you were probably mad at them in 2016.

In a weird way, i think a lot of candidates who didn't gain more traction than they should have suffered because of low voter turn out in 2016. No one wanted to take risks this year with trump because 42% of the country stayed home.

You couldn't prove it. If enough people voted for Clinton that she won, there'd be no candidates this year. But if Trump wasn't the nominee and Clinton lost, people like Yang (I think) would have done better.

I was made at the non-voters.

According to the Bernie crowd, it was whoever was beating Sanders.

Not true, I would have taken a Warren.

That's who I voted for. But apparently Biden is my candidate.

I tend to think the fact that 2016 had relatively successful campaigns by so called outsiders is what made people like Yang and Tulsi even think to throw their hat in the mix. Traditionally there would be no room for them, and a Jeb Bush type beating Clinton is very much a continuation of the traditional status quo.

Same difference. You were mad at the results. You just assume the non voters would've swung it your way. If they cared enough to do so they would've. That's democracy.
