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.
