In 2016 the Trump campaign targeted voters they knew could be swayed to vote third party as a protest vote or just not vote at all..

So those arguing that Stein didn't receive enough votes to make a difference miss the bigger point. It's as much if not more about turning off potential Democratic voters as it is about getting people to switch to Stein. Unfortunately it worked.
