I know some on here love to paint "the left" as the bogeyman in the same way the right wing does. Fact is if you take the 130,000 votes Jill Stein got in PA, WI and MI they don't come close to the 440,000 that the Libertarian candidate got in those states. If you're going to assign all of Stein's votes to Clinton, then it's equally reliable to give all of Gary Johnson's votes to dump and the asshole still wins.
