I'd say some folks do a whole lot more than whine when they don't get their way. I'd say some people straight up lose their friggin' minds when they lose an election..........

I would characterize a lot of what you describe as propaganda rather than whining (perhaps a distinction without a difference). Here's the all-time queen of political whining though, IMO (Patsy Schroeder, D-CO). I'd stick pencils in my ears not to have to listen to her high-pitched whining:
