Assuming that everyone who voted for a third party would vote for your candidate is extremely arrogant and unfounded.

More Democrats in Florida voted for George Bush than Nader. The Nader effect is bullshit

But Nader was a more liberal Green party candidate that stole votes from the democrat. The libertarians steal votes from republicans. All Johnson did was make it close.

I went to Iraq. Clinton’s support for that war is part of why I voted for Stein. Clinton lost because she was a bad candidate. Blaming it on anyone else might make you feel better, but it doesn’t change that reality.

Why didn’t Obama lose bc of Cynthia McKinney? maybe Gore and Clinton really are bad candidates...both couldn’t capitalize on the popularity and ethusiasm for their democratic predecessor
