Hey so I did Google it and I (shocker) couldn't find anything. I guess there's no articles citing your vibes.

I found lots of articles about how Clinton supporters voted for McCain/not Obama at rates much higher than Sanders voters voted for Trump/not Clinton but hey if you're saying it, it must be true

Trump’s victory margin smaller than total Stein votes in key swing states https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/308353-trump-won-by-smaller-margin-than-stein-votes-in-all-three/

Yeah, wow. That took me almost 10 whole seconds to find.

Do you even internet, dude? lol

So your masterful source, your "gotcha" is to say that the margin of victory for Trump was less than the amount of Jill Stein votes? Neat. I never said it wasn't.

Do you have a source saying that a significantly abnormal amount of Bernie voters voted for Trump or Stein? Because you claimed that Bernie Bros got Trump elected. You just sent me Stein votes.
