18. I blame "Reasonable Republicans" more than Stein...

...because anybody who voted for Stein never even pretended to be "reasonable".

Yet the "reasonable Republicans" eagerly swallowed all the crapola about Hillary, wouldn't budge from it even when their party chose Trump, and decided they could cop out and not vote for that woman by voting for Johnson.

Three times as many people did this as those who poutily went Stein, and that bunch was proud about their unreasonableness.

In terms of sheer numbers of people who were blinded by having their heads up their asses but shouldn't have been, there's no contest.

Which shouldn't be taken as any sort of leniency toward Stein nor the Green Goobers.
