    Or, just people that don’t wanna vote for Harris or Trump, so they choose a party they believe in. Ya know, some people do that without being Russian operatives. :)

      But that vote goes right in the trash. Third parties can’t win in our system for practical purposes so the only effect is to take away votes from the side most like your own and risk empowering the party least like yours. Stein is basically supporting Trump.
