    Michigan 2016

    I can’t post more than one image because Lemmy/Memmy makes the images fall apart into a 2 mile long scroll.

      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.

          How is Stein having 1.1% of votes worse than Johnson having 3.6%? Stein sucks, I’ll make it clear. But how is Stein’s votes being in last place helping Trump when Johnson won more votes than her?

          If every Johnson voter voted Democrat (Libertarians agree with a lot of Democratic opinions, they just don’t see it) then Clinton would have won.

          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.

            It’s inconceivable that a voter wouldn’t support either major candidate. All green voters become Hilary voters because Democrats and Greens are next to each other on my Ideology For Eighth Graders rubric.

            All you have to do is arrest Jill Stein and put her in “friendly with Russia” jail, and Hilary wins in a 0.1% landslide

          Why do you think she’s back?

          Because she’s candidate who won the primary for her party. Same reason Trump is back for third time.

        Wouldn’t the libertarians take more votes from the Republicans than the Dems?

          Oh shit. Maybe. But then this would imply Hillary was working with a sizable advantage.
