I perceive a collective point of view regardless of coordination. Look, I have friends that were Stein voters. It caused no small issue within my social group. None the less, the lesson is that people on this "fringe" need to understand what they have accomplished and people like me are probably better positioned to explain it. And none the less, explain it we must do. Elections have consequences.
