    Nope, totally blaming Stein voters. They’re idiots, truly stupid, to believe that a protest vote does anything except hurt the major party they’re most aligned with. Stein is a useful idiot, funded by fascists to leech votes from Democrats. She got Trump elected in 2016.

    Third parties aren’t a thing under our system. If we were a parliamentary system, sure, but not under our current system, so take your desires for boosting a third party and boost yourself into a lake.

      Blaming Stein voters does nothing to solve any of the underlying issues with our system. She’s a useful idiot for the Republicans and a useful scapegoat for the Democrats. Blindly and simply blaming her and her voters is allowing the status quo as much as voting for her, it’s a short sighted problematic worldview that is a distraction from calling those currently in power to do anything to change the status quo of our system.
