    I voted for Stein in 2016. My state still went to Clinton by 16 points. If I’d lived in a state that was even remotely competitive, I would have held my nose and voted for Clinton.

      Same, and the number of people who voted for Stein in swing states was not enough to change the election outcome. I support voting for the lesser of two evils (when your vote actually counts), but I’m tired of people blaming leftists when it’s just factually wrong.

      I live in a swing state which went to Hillary by a narrow margin and voted for Hillary even though Stein was a preferable candidate

      It was very brave of you to admit that you voted for Jill Stein, I mean even if she had no chance to win, she’s still a pseudoscience promoter who believes we can use crystals as an alternative to heatlhcare and that vaccines cause autism.

          I didn’t vote FOR Hilary, I voted AGAINST Trump, a third party vote doesn’t do that

            I don’t back a third party strategy, but a third party vote is almost always a vote against the two parties.

        That was much less clear in 2016 than it is now.
