    Argumentum ad populum logical fallacy: being popular doesn’t make you correct. And obviously not many really think that, or Stein would actually be a viable candidate.

    Once again, Your refusal to accept reality does not make you correct. And, by the numbers, it doesn’t make you popular either.

      Well then you guys and the Democratic Party have nothing to worry about! Right? So no stress. Thank you! :)

        How did you arrive at that conclusion? The facts don’t support it. Democrats whenever worried that Stein would be elected.

          Well Dems are definitely worried that enough people will vote for her that it’ll cause them problems. They even started an ad campaign against her! LOL

          So like I said originally, “looks like lots of people disagree with you.” If there weren’t lots of people disagreeing with you and voting third party, then you’d have nothing to worry about. Thank you! :)

            Like everything you’ve ever said here, that makes no sense.

            Dems are concerned she’ll be a spoiler candidate whose votes will help Trump win (and they’re right about that), not that Stein would be a viable candidate— this has been explained to you. You’re conflating the two.

            And, more faulty logic:

            If there weren’t lots of people disagreeing with you and voting third party, then you’d have nothing to worry about

            Once again, Dems aren’t worried she would win or that she’s popular (as neither are true). And it doesn’t take “lots” to spoil the election, just “enough”.

            Single-digit percentages - a tiny fraction - does not constitute “a lot” nor “popular”.

            Again, your refusal to accept reality does not make you correct. It doesn’t even make you popular.
