That is not correct Bentway. I don't get why you and Wharf can't get this? There is no way to quantify what Steins impact was because you have to add the votes Stein, got plus those that stayed at home because of her propaganda, plus people who voted for Trump because if what Stein said. There is not way to know how many people that adds up to , but a good guess is that it was enough to doom Hillary under the circumstances. Stein lambasted Hillary to the end as being as bad as Trump.

Nader cost us the election in 2000 and Stein probably cost us the election in 2016 as the vast majority of her votes and influence affected dem votes.

But most importantly liberals need to understand the danger of a third party.

And it is not the point for this reason, and I expect you to be honest Bentway: If Hillary had beaten Obama and millions of African Americans had stayed home and she had lost, would you have blamed Obama???

Stein was a nonentity. Not a factor, as you've been shown, repeatedly. Post even ONE article that says Clinton lost due to Stein.
