From what I remember Clinton’s big objections came down to her questioning the electoral college as opposed to the popular vote, that the Russians used social media to spread propaganda and influence people’s votes, and that the Republicans had done a lot of gerrymandering leading up to the election. While there are arguments to be made for the other side on the college/popular vote and gerrymandering, all of these happen to be true. While Trump spread lies and riled up his base that the election was straight up illegally stolen.
Imo they are really big differences.
