It's not the 3rd party candidates that are being scapegoated, it's the people who sat about yelling about how terrible Kamela is and people should vote 3rd party or stay home. Now, shockingly, when people didn't show up to vote for the D ticket we ended up with the R option and things are already getting chaotic before he's in office. Yet they apparently are perfectly OK with this result.
You cannot quantify how many people stayed home, nor their reason for doing so, but I did just quantify how many people voted third party. Everything else is conjecture.
Umm, you very much can. It's called knowing how many people voted, knowing how many people are in the U.S., and knowing how many are under 18, then everyone left over didn't vote.
245 million people were eligible to vote. Close to 90 million didn't.

And they all would have voted Democrat!
