    Nothing can hurt or help Stein’s chances. She’s not a real choice. I don’t even think she’s on enough states’ ballots to get the required number of electoral votes.

      She can’t win, but she’s on enough ballots to affect the outcome. I assume she knows this and either directly wants Trump to win or is so twisted around with hatred for the Democratic party she doesn’t care that hurting them hurts the entire country.

        Florida 2000 Presidential Election results:

        • Bush: 2,912,790 (48.847%)

        • Gore: 2,912,253 (48.838%)

        • Nader: 97,488 (1.64%)

        If just 538 Nader voters had gone to Gore, representing 0.0091% of the total vote, Al Gore would have been president.

        Tiny fucking margins can change the world. Ask a bunch of dead Iraqi people if they feel like there would have been no meaningful difference between Bush and Gore.
