WTF WI would be Kamala right now if not for the green party and brain worm.

This is disgusting.

2. The green party has a lot to answer for both for this election and 2016.

9. Go back to 2000.

Look at Florida in 2000. And look at the votes Nader got.

The Green Party has been throwing the country under the bus for a long time now.

3. So instead of trying to peel off their voters, we have this discussion?

5. When we see the final tally, we shall know how many

Voted for nothing, and how to give them something they were seeking, inside the parameters we can offer.

The nihilistic attitude of some will have the blood on their hands, along with everyone that voted for trump, as the policies begin to break our Democracy.

10. You can't peel off the purists.

They'll always have an issue that makes them feel superior given they fail to realize that Presidents are not kings. ... Or, they weren't until Jan of 2025.

4. Fringe 3rd Party votes

Are largely protest votes. If they were not on the ballot people would mostly skip the race or write in and the rest would be split between the mainstream candidates.

6. Pretty big assumption in that assertion

The current totals being reported in wisconsin give Trump a lead of 29,687 over Harris. Stein and RFK Jr together have 29,940 votes -- so if you assume that every voter that cast a ballot for Stein and RFK Jr would have voted for Harris it means Harris would have a 253 vote lead. But that's a pretty big assumption. A far more realistic view is that a bunch of them don't vote, or some vote for Trump, or write in someone else, or vote for the Libertarian candidate or another third party candidate and Harris still falls short.

7. Without 3rd parties Tammy Baldwin would have lost

There were two right leaning candidates in the Wisconsin Senate race that took more 72,000 votes. Both ran farther to the right than the Republican.
We should be thanking the 3rd parties for the Senate seat.

8. They have been playing the role of spoiler

since forever.

Nader got something like 60k votes in Florida? Yeah those going to Gore would have made it a no question.
