Answer me, why Johnson instead of Stein? What kind of moron would vote for Johnson if he would vote for Clinton if there were only two options and no write ins/third parties?

Johnson got votes from people who would vote for Trump if they couldn't vote third party. To think otherwise only shows that you're delusional or don't understand the ideals of all four leading candidates.

So there is a silver lining.

People are voting for third parties because they're tired of the neoliberal consensus, war in foreign countries, starvation wages, unemployment, lack of proper welfare services, debt, the endless money circus called American "democracy", and so on. It's not about protesting against the right and the left - the Democratic Party and the GOP are both right-wing parties that stand for the interests of the bourgeoisie. Clinton is not left-wing, just another neoliberal. Some left-wing candidates are Jill Stein and Gloria La Riva.

I don't think a Norwegian communist is really qualified to say what Americans are voting against. We really are in fact sick of the actual parties.
