No, Hank, it's about the 2% fewer prime age people participating in the labor force. Clearly.
The Dem "establishment" (for lack of a better term) completely underestimated (1) just how much scorn there would be for Hillary from the progressive wing of the party, who I personally thought would get out to vote for the first woman over a racists lunatic (or any R), and (2) just how powerful mysogny is. Those to things drove the phenomena that left votes the Dems could have gotten at home.
Sebby's thing mattered too, but there's little the Dems can really offer to get those people on board.
