Compare that to the number of D votes who didn't show up because they supported Bernie and concluded he was fucked by the establishment wing of his party.
The people who voted for Stein were people who did not think Hillary's election was much of an improvement over Trump's election, or thought Hillary had it in the bag.
The establishment in both parties still doesn't seem to understand that, in 2016, the voters wanted, more than any particular candidate's election, to simply destroy the establishment's grip on power.
(For a long time, in many regards, rather stagnant systems have persisted in commerce, politics, government. Tech has upended some of it, but it can't do enough alone. People seem to desire a form of reset, but no one knows what form it should take. Hillary was the antithesis of the concept of reset.)
