(5,648 posts)Had their votes for Stein in Michigan and Wisconsin gone to Hillary instead, Hillary not Trump would have won those two states.
Had Stein's votes in Pennsylvania gone instead Hillary, Trump would have still won that state, but only by a few thousand votes. Then if you figure in all of the those ultra progressives who who through their votes away writing in Bernie Sanders or who made decisions to sit out the election at home because "their conscience would not allow them to vote for any of the candidates", Hillary could have won Pennsylvania as well and the Presidency to boot.
Your votes matter matter folks - even they votes of the ideologically pure progressives who now, like the rest of us, have to endure at least 4 years of Trump while he tries his best to dismantle everything we have worked so hard to build
