A widely held belief by those misguided enough to vote for them, but incorrect, and even the smallest (objective) research will tell you that. Nader’s 77,000 votes took Florida from Gore, and Stein’s votes mattered even more.
The conjectural argument those takes rely on is “they wouldn’t have voted for Hillary anyway (or would have voted for Trump), And none of that matters, it was the negativity/apathy that mattered most.

Ralph nader took the votes he earned, and the votes for Nader were, in fact, in favor of Nader. The votes Gore didn't get, Gore didn't earn. Gore didn't carry his home state and if he had, Florida would be neither here nor there. Gore was not entitled to carry his home state.
Voting is NOT an entitlement program.
Where we are today: Dem = low approval rating; GOP = low approval rating. People who vote Dem can't stand the GOP more than they can't stand Dems. People who vote GOP can't stand the Dems more than they can't stand the GOP. Bottom line is people can't stand either one. They both reek to high heaven.
