Actually, about 31% of the voters blew it. There were ~245M eligible voters and ~77M cast the deciding vote.
My faith in American "democracy" has faded significantly.
edit: fix the vote count.

That would make it well over half of eligible voters who blew it. Those who chose incorrectly as well as those who chose no vote at all.
I wonder if you can appreciate just how arrogant that sounds. Even if you disagree, people generally have reasons they act the way they do.
Feel free to school me on all the valid reasons they had. Just bear in mind that I have no love for the opposing party either, I just consider them the lesser of two evils.
I don't feel arrogant about this, I feel depressed and angry.
I’m sorry, are you saying that a decision is correct because it is popular?
If they didn't vote, they are, by definition, not "voters".
I prefaced it with eligible which sets the context for the outcome, i.e., what kind of "mandate" is implied by the outcome.
