    Adding or removing a candidate who is essentially a rounding error shouldn’t make a difference.

    I agree. But I wonder why Democrat Party worked so hard to have her removed if it doesn’t really make much of a difference.

      In 2016, the number of votes Jill Stein got WAS bigger than the number Clinton lost by, and for the faithful who can’t see a) Clinton was a terrible candidate and b) she fucked up by not campaigning in Wisconsin, they’d rather blame Stein for the loss than point the finger at Clinton.

        Yep. And I was gonna vote Democrat that year when Bernie was taking the world by storm. I’m a big Bernie fan.

        Then Clinton pushed him out, and I def switched back to Green.
