There's my cousin voting for Stein, and there's my son't girlfriend voting for Johnson, oops, scratch that, just announced for Hillary, grudgingly, but don't care. The point is, most votes for Johnson will be from Republicans, smart enough to reject Trump but too stupid to vote Hillary. Hey, they're Republicans.
My husband, still a registered Republican, has been with Hillary through the primaries and assures me, she's got this. I love this cartoon. Maybe it's what pushed the girlfriend.

In 1929 many of the KPD rank and file (German Communist Party) wanted to unite with the SPD (Socialist Party) to defeat fascism (i.e. Hitler's NAZI party), but the leadership aligned with Stalin at the time, declined and wanted to gamble on winning it all.

If I recall, most of these Communists ended up dying in concentration camps.
