I got a lot of negative comments when I pointed out here that millennials were the largest voting bloc to vote 3rd party as a protest vote even though millennials were also one of the Dems and Clinton’s biggest supporters, meaning that those votes were essentially the same as voting for Trump in 4 states that were extremely close: WI, MI, PA, FL.
So it is very reassuring as I watch the latest vote tallies to see that Clinton is now >2.3M votes ahead and 1.7% pts ahead in the popular vote, beating Trump.
Is is also very reassuring to see that this same analytical perspective (as opposed to arguing over Clinton as a flawed candidate, messaging and all of the other soft political issues) is shared by both Noam Chomsky (People Who Didn’t Vote For Clinton To Block Trump Made A ‘Bad Mistake’) and other analytical reviews of the data:
A review of the seven key states that made Donald Trump the president elect, shows that Stein’s vote total was higher than Trump’s margin in two of those states: Wisconsin and Michigan. In addition, in Florida, the combined vote total for Stein and Libertarian Gary Johnson was higher than Trump’s margin of victory.
