Amanda Marcotte : Pundits are avoiding the most obvious cause of Donald Trump's election victory.

She says the problem wasn't Democratic policy or messaging, it was ignorance.

Marcotte says progressive policies advanced and protected progressive goals in state after state.

When voters have factual information about candidates, they prefer Democrats , she says.

A new study shows that Democratic voters consumed more news media than Republicans , but Republicans often turned to "friends and family" for facts.

Frida Ghitis: Millions of Americans are changing their media environment from boring, fact-based stuff to QAnon conspiracy theories, right-wing influencers who use sex and shock value to hook people.

She says we should not be surprised that people who rely on worse information make uninformed choices.
