Evidence that third party votes would of voted otherwise? If people don't like any candidates, they might not vote at all

The numbers in this image aren't real.
Also, why would you assume that those people voting for Stein would have preferred Clinton over Trump?

Almost like Clinton should have run a real campaign in MI😃. Stop running unpopular candidates and blaming it on greens. How embarassing lol.

Yeah how dare the dems pick the candidate the majority of their primary voters picked! They should have chosen someone more popular, like the guy who got even less votes than her during those same primaries!

These numbers are not correct according to NY Times

That makes an assumption that all or a big majority third party voters would prefer Harris over Trump.

Just for clarifying the logic here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

These numbers are also lies. Trump won PA by 68,735, while Stein got 48,912. It's just misinformation.

Nobody who would have otherwise voted for Trump is going to be convinced to vote for Stein. Every vote she gets IS one that was much more aligned with Harris.

This isn't a question of ALL third parties, but there aren't any right-aligned third parties making any kind of a meaningful run.

What??

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674. If all Greens voted Clinton and all Libertarians voted Trump then New Mexico would've only been won by Clinton with around 1,000 votes, Colorado would've also been nearly Trump. Nevada, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would've been won by Trump. Maine might've gone majority Trump.

Third parties hurt Trump more than they help him, because Libertarians would not have voted Clinton.

And how many of them are running now? This isn't about them, this is about the one third party candidate that actually makes headlines.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

Why do headlines matter if she gets way less votes than Libertarians?

Dems would rather support genocide than win an election.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

I mean, Trump supports the genocide too. If he were president, we'd probably have troops there helping out. I don't see how this is even a choice.

Me looking at the current state of our democracy and political system. 🤷

Electing a felon certainly can't make it worse. It is not like he is fantasizing about deploying the national guard against his own citizens.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/17/donald-trump-enemy-within-quote/75714201007/
