Stein is on 45 state ballots - and likely will be on 48 before it's all said and done. The mythical candidates are not on state ballots, polling nationally - nor are they real candidates. So I'm referring to actual candidates who are polling nationally, on all (or a vast majority) of state ballots, and who have actual organized presidential campaigns.

I actually would agree that voting for Stein or Johnson is a throw-away vote - but I disagree in trivializing the appetite for a more diversified representation of political views in this country - and thus - Stein and Johnson have utility in entering the aggregate political conversation in this presidential election.
