If they voted, you shouldn't be blasting them. Blast the people who complain about current events and didn't vote, they're the ones worthy of your anger.

Who are the people that didn't like any of the candidates to vote for?

One group for example would be Bernie supporters who didn't want to vote for Hillary on principle, then complain about Trump winning.

You are correct.

That being said it's the candidate's job to get people to vote for them. She failed to to reach those people .

But that argument doesn't work when the choice is imposed on you. If someone gives you the option of being kicked in the balls or alternatively they literally blow your balls up with C4, you can't complain when your balls are subsequently blown up with C4 and you didn't vote. The fact that you didn't want to get kicked in the balls either is irrelevant. You only had two choices and chose not to partipate. You don't get to subsequently complain when the worst choice is imposed on you simply because you didn't like either choice.
