We're reaping results of primary elections

Lately, I have been hearing a lot of people whine about the choice of Trump or Hillary in the November election. However, when I've asked if they voted for either one in the primary, most said they did not bother to vote in the primary. They did not think anyone else had a chance of winning.

I can't help but wonder if all these people that did not vote in the primary had shown up and voted their conscience instead of letting the polls influence them, if things would be different.

The primary elections are just as important as the general election, perhaps all of you who did not vote in the primary will remember that next time and vote or not complain about the choices.
