Well I'm seeing something about getting Gary Johnson 5% of the vote. I wonder what would have happened if Johnson hadn't been the fun pick on Facebook and those votes had gone to one of the candidates who actually had a chance.`

My Facebook feed was full of "Trump is there just to make Hillary look good. They're in it together. Vote anyone but Hillary because she's pulling the strings. Stein 16." Now not so much.

All those celebrities who said they'd move out of the country are getting blasted online now. Raven-Symoné with her "if any Republican candidate wins I'm moving" attitude but continued to say people should vote for a third party. Pack your bags, buddy. You've screwed us all.

I barely follow politics, but this whole U.S Presidential election was like watching a drunk stagger down the street. You wait and wait for the big fall to get a good laugh, well....the fall happened. Unfortunate for U.S.Asians, but it was quite a ride.

The one glimmer of hope:
The GOP will hold the Senate by the thinnest of margins. There's a good chance that the Dems can get a few of the more rational GOP Senators to swing over and act as a shield against Trump.
Yes I'm grasping at straws.

Then those people may have boosted the margin of victory for Trump?
Blaming the third party candidate is a massive cop out.
Clinton is a peice of shit, people are sick of safe spaces, and the DNCs dirty laundry got revealed.
Clinton had EVERY ADVANTAGE IMAGINABLE and still got rocked...by Donald fucking Trump of all people.

You aren't.
Voting against any Trump craziness is going to be the go-to resume booster for people who have presidential aspirations in the future. They will be able to claim to have crossed party lines.

No, it's not. Look at the margins and tell me that if Johnson and Stein, who had no chance of winning anything, ever, weren't such fun candidates or whatever they're supposed to be, weren't around and tell me this wouldn't be different.
Actions have consequences indeed.

There's even a chance he'll be primaried by his own party, assuming he doesn't quit after a few months.

It would be different. And you can't say which way it would have been.
Voting for Johnson and trying to get 5% to garner equal representation in the next election is TRYING to make a difference.

Also, are we even sure Trump isn't going to quit by say, March? It's fairly clear this is a big game to him and as soon as frustration sets in he might just go do a reality show instead.

No, it isn't.
It's trying to make a difference that has no chance of happening, as it never has in this country and likely never will.

I was fully expecting him to call everyone an idiot for voting for him and step down. How is he going to run his empire and be president at the same time?

Ross Perot was.
Do you genuinely think that if Bernie, Obama or Corey Booker ran as a third party they wouldn't have a chance this year?

How about we blame the 57 million people that voted for Trump for this mess instead of the roughly 2 million that voted 3rd party.

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
No.
It would split the Dem votes in half and give Trump a bigger margin.
I get what you're saying about getting someone else on the ballot and that's fine. That makes sense. I highly, highly doubt it would have worked, but it makes sense.
Trying to get Stein or Johnson to that spot wasn't going to work. That's where I'm frustrated.
