Can't believe Johnson handed the election to Trump like that.
Even without him, Stein had it handled by herself. Why do you think she’s back? Jr, who was funded by a Repub PAC, dropped out. Then Stein re-appeared.
No.
With what logic are you using that all those votes could just be added to Hillary? It's not how that works. You can just say if it had been completely different it would have been completely different.
It's like reaching into a bag and pulling 5 limes and saying if only they had been oranges you could have made orange juice.
She wants money, sure, and loves to grift off the people that think themselves superior but this is bad math and pure conspiracy at this point.
Edit: No answer just downvotes cause there isn't a logical answer just irrational dogpiling to find a scapegoat to appease some strong anxiety. Take a breath. Regroup. Don't start throwing shit now.
Somehow Johnson winning more voters with more money than the Green is checks notes proof the Greens are unbashedly evil. Libertarians get more money, are on every state's ballot, but somehow are never blamed for when Democrats run bad candidates who prop up fascists and ignore swing states.
