Does this tweet imply that in the absence of the Green Party, HRC would have gained all those votes or a majority of them? Didn't Gary Johnson get more than triple the amount of votes than Stein, meaning the Libertarian vote cancelled out the Green Party vote? Assuming LP's would vote Republican and GP's would vote Democrat, which I think is an incorrect assumption.

It's assuming some would, which is a safe proposition. If Hillary had gotten only 1 out of every 5 Stein voters, she wins Michigan. There's lots of reasons Trump is president, Russian interference on behalf of Jill Stein is one of them.

The Libertarian and Constitution tickets combined got over 4 times as many votes than the Stein did in Michigan. If you were to eliminate all 3rd party candidates from the ballot, it's likely the Republicans would have benefited more than the Dems. Obviously eliminating all third party candidates isn't an option. How does the Green Party get eliminated from the Michigan ballot while the other 3rd party candidates remain?

The only way I see the Green Party vote being neutralized is inclusion into the big tent, a shift left with the platform and Bernie as the nominee.
