    Why not do this with people who voted republican? Their politics are far closer to Hillary than Stein’s. Kind of weird to assume the further away politically voters are “owed” to you by the Greens but not the Republicans, with whom they share a neoliberal domestic and imperial foreign agenda.

      Election math this like toilet paper math. To liberals the 3% that voted 3rd party has a larger impact than the 15% that changed party.

        Why do you assume third party voters would vote dem (especially this cycle). I would NEVER vote for war criminals. I’ve never voted Republican and now I would NEVER vote democrat again. If I vote third party it’s that or the couch, your evil party is not an option.

          For starters, they are not my party, I’m a socialist. You are misreading what I said, liberals claim the 3% that vote 3rd party are more responsible for a loss than the 15% that changed party.

          Liberals blame Nader for Gore losing in 2000. Nader got about 3% of the vote. 15% of Dems that voted for Bill Clinton previously, voted for Bush that year. They always blame someone other than themselves for their losses.
