In defense of protest votes - Washington Examiner

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : I don't agree with the second, and to point No. 1, I'd say Gore should have done more, perhaps, to cater to the Nader voter.
23% : Then imagine that voter, disappointed in the Republican primary results, talked to her neighbors voting for Trump, Biden, and Kennedy to figure out if she could bring herself to vote for any of them.
21% : In 2016, Hillary Clinton might have won Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania -- and her race against Trump -- if the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, hadn't been on the ballot, draining away some of the people who wanted to vote for a woman.
12% : Also, Collins is positing that if Stein hadn't been on the Pennsylvania ballot, 89% of her voters would have held their noses and voted for Clinton, while not a single one would have voted for Trump.
