That's a sloppy cop out. But if you need to exonerate actually powerful people maybe you're not up for democracy?
I've not seen that, nor have I -- in MI -- experienced that. But that is an easy out.

What I have seen is Hillary chose to run on a message that did not address key issues that these voters cared about.
-
It was also a message that should have brought in other votes but didn't because of polarization. A dimension of fragility.
-
Or maybe the aforementioned bad polling. No, lots of people here were saying it was a bad message. Not an excuse.
-
And lots of people were saying it was good. Vulnerability to wrong message, bad polling underlines fragility.
-
"Lots of people" who weren't the key people in the key states. That is, this is yet another symptom of the problem!
-
All your defenses keep reinforcing the case that Hillary simply ignored the people who knew. That is, anti-democracy.
-
Without hindsight, you don't know who knew. The people she was listening to also talked to voters, just the wrong ones.

WTF!!! The people in states Hillary chose to ignore were all screaming that. It took no hindsight. It took local knowledge & respect
