The numbers in this image aren’t real.
Also, why would you assume that those people voting for Stein would have preferred Clinton over Trump?

Those totals match the wikipedia article exactly, so if they’re wrong, please update them.

I assumed Stein voters were stupid and/or reckless but not evil. Perhaps you’re right though.

Why would someone who agrees with the Green Party platform prefer Republicans to Democrats? I’m sure such people exist, but I expect they’re a tiny fraction of Green Party voters.

People who are normally socially and economically conservative (which may in part be due to far-right propaganda news outlets) but also differ in significant ways from mainstream western conservative politics, and they are much more opposed to the genocide than they are supportable of those socioeconomic values. Not so relevant in 2016, a lot more relevant right now. There’s probably more of them than you think.

Sorry, to be clear, you’re saying that potential Trump voters would vote for Stein to protest our relationship with Israel?
