    assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.

    Ah, yes, because Stein and Harambe had very similar platforms to Hillary.

      Maybe, maybe not. Had a couple friends who were Tulsi fans when she was running that went full bore irate at the two part system after Hillary was selected. Bernie people as well. Felt the DNC forced Hillary down our throats and then went and voted Stein out of spite. Or didn’t vote. Moderates who didn’t want either didn’t vote.

      I don’t think it had anything to do with platform, more spite than anything.
