Here's a source for you. Note that People's World is a socialist new organization.

From the article, "The GOP has a long history of using the Green Party as a tool to siphon votes that might go to Democrats and of playing a spoiler role in our two-party, winner-take-all electoral system. And the Green Party leadership has opportunistically embraced the support, playing the role of what some describe as 'useful idiots.' [...] In 2016, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein garnered 30,000 votes in Wisconsin; Trump won the state by 23,000 votes."

    I didn't either--I voted Green--but the state I lived in at the time went solidly for Clinton. I didn't like her then, I don't like her now, but if I'd lived in a state where it would have been even remotely close, I would have voted for her rather than Trump.

    I disagree with Clinton's politics. I disagree with Trump's existence.

    I didn’t either–I voted Green–but the state I lived in at the time went solidly for Clinton.

    i voted for jill stein, too, and my state went to trump. i didn't want him to win. i also didn't want clinton to win. that's why i didn't vote for either of them.

    jill stein wasn't a spoiler: she was the candidate i wanted to win.
