That was not what happened this time around. What happened, among a slew of other things, is that many the followers of on of the potential nominees were pissed big time that their guy lost, claiming (like Trump) that it was a rigged election.

Many of the followers of this other guy held their nose and voted for the Democratic nominee in the general election. While they gave generously of the money to their guy in the primaries and worked their fingers to the bone for him, they "weren't excited" about the Democratic nominee. So that was all they did was vote. So except for voting, some of our most "enthusiastic" Democrats and left of center independents essentially sat out the general election. Now they like me, are stuck with Trump, and they really shouldn't be too proud of themselves about now.

Was this the reason we lost, no, it as one of the reasons we lost.
