    Election math this like toilet paper math. To liberals the 3% that voted 3rd party has a larger impact than the 15% that changed party.

      Why do you assume third party voters would vote dem (especially this cycle). I would NEVER vote for war criminals. I’ve never voted Republican and now I would NEVER vote democrat again. If I vote third party it’s that or the couch, your evil party is not an option.

        For starters, they are not my party, I’m a socialist. You are misreading what I said, liberals claim the 3% that vote 3rd party are more responsible for a loss than the 15% that changed party.

        Liberals blame Nader for Gore losing in 2000. Nader got about 3% of the vote. 15% of Dems that voted for Bill Clinton previously, voted for Bush that year. They always blame someone other than themselves for their losses.
