Third party voters fucked this over. Worse than in 2000 (which I admittedly was a part of, I was 18 a didnā€™t know any better).

I donā€™t believe that.

People just didnā€™t get out and vote.

Note that Drumpskind isnā€™t caught up to Romney yet, and Clinton is way behind Obama in 2012.

Neither Johnson or Stein are responsible for that.

Americans just didnā€™t want to vote for the two top candidates. The participation rate for the top of the ticket could well be below 50%.
