That 0.4% of the vote would have made Kamala lose by 6 million votes instead of 6.5 million

It could also have made her lose by 7 million. Never doubt your power as a voter
Really a great use of their resources to make Stein attack ads.
did she even make enough of a dent to play spoiler? it’s like getting mad at someone for eating one of your chips but you own the frito lay company
Going off of the stats, I'm pretty sure Kamala still would've gotten fucking wiped if you transferred all Stein votes to her.
But what all other third party candidates also voted for her. Huh? What then tankie?
Oh she's still would have lost. Well this is clearly the fucking single issue genocide voters fault
Time to watch most libs learn absolutely nothing and pretend the genocide of Palestinians started under Trump, historical revision in real time 
They won't join leftist orgs in significant numbers, they will LARP as Democrat Resistance 
Already seeing them pretend like 3rd party voters were the problem despite that not affecting a single swing state outcome
If libs could analyze stats and read theory they wouldn't be libs.
This really is the best outcome in the event of Trump's win. Dems eat shit and they can't try to scapegoat Jill Stein or pro-Palestinians (a la Michigan) like they did Ralph Nader or dissatisfied voters in the 2000 election.
I'M SPEAKING, APPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS FUTURE PRESIDENT
GET FUCKED BLUE HITLER
Oh, no self-reflection, please. It's a waste of good suffering
it's crazy how the Dems started 2 wars in 2 distinct regions while threatening to start a third and lost to the clownish asshole that made the agreement to withdraw from Afghanistan... which the media tried to skewer him for, to zero effect.
trump sucks and American militarism is never critiqued anymore in the electoral system, but Americans do mostly know when they're paying for wars.
if anyone asks my one sentence analysis, I'm just going to say, "I guess the administration that financed 2 wars in 4 years had too much stink on it."
Wait, they didn't start those wars, one was started by the fascist Putin and the other by the United Nations.
Can I finally use lib logic and say that all Americans are fascists for electing a dickhead and they are also Russian bots/spy for electing a dickhead that licks Putin's balls?
Yes.
Looking at the numbers, the only state where stein was enough of a spoiler to swing it was Michigan, which the dems seemed committed to writing off. RFK was a bigger dem spoiler than stein in a lot of places.
I voted for her even as an anarchist. I figured it took no effort to do so, and maybe, just maybe he'd go away for good. But make no allusions, I called this nightmare scenario back in 2020.
With Joe, you got Blue Trump and perhaps 4 more years after, and a potential 8 if "Pence" ran afterwards. Had no idea they'd turn on him too, I didn't have that bingo card.
But it's simple math. Let him have his 8, and try again in '24. But no, we had his 4, plus a blue version of the same for 4, now we get a potential 12 plus Supreme Court for life. I was hoping for at least Congress to not turn. Nope. Not that either.
We are going to have a fucking awful 2 years here, and MAYBE there's backlash in the midterms, IF THAT EVEN EXISTS.
Constitution is toast. This is it. Not even 250 years for this empire to fall. It's not just bad. This is the worst case scenario for the world, in so far as before nukes start flying.
I swore off the DNC after Bernie. They Lucy-footballed me hope-wise, but I knew damn well "nothing would significantly change". I mean, FFS, I come here enough, I ain't blind. But there were literally no choices. And I actually liked Tim Walz. But now Libs are gonna demonize him despite his rhetoric actually working and being effective, and they're going to schelack Shapiro's asshole.
And don't even get be started on the Zionists.
I'm really worried, fam. My wife is a Colombian immigrant and looks it, despite being here for 25 years and becoming a citizen. I'm not sure that's gonna matter now. And I'm Puerto Rican, born here, look white, but I got a giant anarchy symbol and hammer sickle on my car. And who did they come for first? Yeah, us.
Project 2025 will destroy this country. Hopefully we can build something better in the ashes.
They took an L so big that even if they had all the stein votes it would barely have made a dent lmao
