People get weird close to the election.

People voting green party did so for a reason. Not everyone fits into perfectly shaped boxes for the 2 party system. Many vote 3rd party for leverage for policy change. The narrative of picking the lesser evil doesn’t always apply to the narrative of the individual voter.

Did people who voted for Stein get what they wanted by electing Trump?

No, they got what they wanted by bringing third party candidates to the discussion table so more people would vote third party in future elections.

One day we might even be able to elect a candidate who isn’t the “lesser evil”

One day we might get stv approval voting instant runoff or one of the methods that allow 3rd parties to win push for that at the state level instead of fantasies that can never work
