Even if we assumed every single third-party vote would have gone towards Harris (which isn’t true at all), there were only 2.6m third-party votes. That would just barely allow Harris to eke out Trump in regards to the popular vote, but still wouldn’t have won her the electoral college.
She was a fucking unpopular candidate. No way around that. She started off strong with a lot of excitement, but then failed to separate herself from Biden’s boring policies whatsoever. Democrat voters are tired of the existing establishment, and the democrat party ran an establishment candidate.
This is why I can’t be angry at people that didn’t vote or voted 3rd party instead of democrats. People were rightfully disenfranchised. It’s like blaming a rape victim for dressing a certain way.

I think it’s the other way around
