re: #90 Hecuba’s daughter

The question is how many purity ponies are out there — the same as those that handed 2016 to Trump. Never underestimate the damage caused by those who believe that somehow this time it will be different: a monster gets elected and then in the next election the nation will see the truth and vote the “right” way for the Green candidate or whatever fantasy they are promoting this time around.

Nothing annoys me more than Republicans and Democrats complaining about third party voters.

Johnson likely cost Trump more electoral votes than Stein cost Clinton in 2016. New Mexico, Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Nevada - that’s 36 electoral votes that Clinton won with pluralities in the state where Johnson got more votes than the margin of victory. And in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Johnson got 2-3 times the vote that Stein got.

If you want third party voters to vote for your nominees, run better nominees.
