I bet at least some Juggalos get their kids vaccinated.

To all those who refused to vote for the lesser of two evils,
Enjoy your âclean consciences,â assholes.

To be honest, it looks like the Johnson voters - not the Stein voters - are the numerical problem, and it is hard to judge how many of the people voting for him would instead have voted for HRC rather than just stay home. What some JS supporters have done is help spread the tired old right wing lies about Clinton being a crook and corrupt.

Johnson voters would be more likely to be GOP supporters, surely? Weâre just seeing how angry at the establishment people are and how few were prepared to hold their noses and vote for Clinton, even when the alternative is Trump. It doesnât make a jot of difference how justified the dislike of Clinton is, it exists.

Assuming theyâre informed, then theyâd more likely be GOP backers, though they could just be numbskulls.
There was a vast misinformation campaign from JS voters, most of the hard-core ones Iâve talked to on FB/elsewhere were spreading the standard Wikileaks/Assange propaganda.

Not necessarily. 3rd party votes can sometimes give you a shield against making the truly tough choice. A moderate Republican can vote for a Johnson rather than vote for Clinton or stay home. If half the Johnson voters stayed home and the other half voted for Clinton, thatâs the difference in a couple of statesâŚ
Time to make a killing on some âBlame me, I voted for Johnsonâ buttons! Hopefully I can sell them in rubles, since the dollar wonât be worth crap in the morning.

Well, it looks like Stein will be a spoiler in MI. Itâs feeling more and more like 2000.

I have tried to be gracious and considerate towards those who are feeling down because Ms. Clinton failed to achieve the presidency, and respectful towards those Trump supporters who are expressing the hope that he will be a new Claudius.
I also tried, over and over again, to help liberal Democrats win this election, despite my own personal conviction that the Green Party is humanityâs hope for the future. In return Iâve been mocked and belittled, Iâve been called an anti-Semite, a misogynist, a racist, and a fool. But despite the anger Iâve often felt, I kept trying to reach you, kept trying to help you win.
#My candidate lost too. Can we give the Green hate a rest for a little while?

There will be ample time to blame outsiders for the party machineâs failures later.

The marginâs in your state were way beyond the 3rd party vote, and you were pretty confident of that before you voted, so youâre not directly responsible for anything. But the Green voters in Wisconsin, the Libertarians in Pennsylvania? They need to own their contribution to what happened. Their votes were votes for Trump. There were probably voters in WI who thought their vote for your fruitbat wouldnât make a difference too.
The election was the Democratsâ to lose, they have primary responsibility for what happened, but the 3rd parties donât get a free pass on this one, sorry.

At least you have had a bit more time to get used to the idea that your candidate wasnât going to win.

Exactly. Libertarians are not anywhere near left-leaning.

Howzabout we make voter registration mandatory and fix issues with the polls and then we see?
Of course thatâll never be allowed to happen.
