And you can deny it all you want, just like Nader supporters still live in denial over aiding George W. Bush in getting elected in 2000.

There was an obvious choice to be made here and you helped Trump get elected. Suck it up and accept that you threw your vote away on someone who had absolutely zero chance to win jackshit. Hell, jackshit is infinitely more than any Johnson or Stein won, or had a chance to win.
Most people don't always like either candidate, but they understand that often there is a lesser of two evils, and so they vote for the lesser and hope for the best. Neither Stein, nor Johnson ever stood a chance of appointing a SCOTUS justice, but Hillary did. Talk all your "corporate shill" bullshit until the cows come home, but now Trump is putting at least one, probably two, maybe even three justices on the Supreme Court.
But hey, at least you voted your conscience.
The Greens didn't lose the election for Gore in 2000. That election was lost on three counts, a) the republitards committed treason by stealing the vote in Florida (a treason so successful they did it nationally in 2004 and 2016, and tried it for both Obama wins), b) the Supreme Cort committed a further treason by their retroactive legitimisation of the vote stealing and appointing Shrub the figurehead of the conspiracy as President, and finally c) Gore and the DNC being too much of a bunch of wussies to stand up to this blatant criminality and instead bullying an innocent third party into taking the blame.
The Dems won't have power in the US again until they realise the republitards are in the process of permanently rigging the game and they start fighting it tooth and nail.
Or their base dies off to the point and hits the threshold of no return. The 18-29 yr olds aren't buying their snake oil. It's old white men that are pussies and don't feel safe without a loaded gun under their pillow. It's old white women who are married to the above mentioned old white men that can't come up with an opinion of their own volition. What do both have in common.. Not long for this Earth.
