Letters to the Editor: Your 'protest vote' for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald Trump

That wasn't the reason why democrats lost in 2016.

Ah yes, I remember the dems nominating someone terrible who strongly deserves to be protested.

I remember the dems nominating a canidate who was hardly liked within the party and had no appeal without, and who was deeply concered in learching the party to the right... how about instead of assuming the dems are correct and the voters are wrong lets look at why the voters are disatisfied

It didn't actually have any effect on 2016. Even if every single Jill Stien voter had gone to Clinton, she still would have needed to win over 50% of Gary Johnson's voters to win.. Since it's pretty unlikely that half of the Libertarian party's votes were from disaffected leftists, no, the protest vote did not cost Hillary the election.
