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.

A ‘better nominee’ who will end up perpetuating the two-party system is of no interest to those focused on ending the two-party system. IMHO, as a former one of those, observing many others of the ilk.
