In 2016:

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674. If all Greens voted Clinton and all Libertarians voted Trump then New Mexico would’ve only been won by Clinton with around 1,000 votes, Colorado would’ve also been nearly Trump. Nevada, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would’ve been won by Trump. Maine might’ve gone majority Trump.

In 2020 if Libertarians went Republican and Greens went Democrat, Trump would've won Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and nearly Pennsylvania.

That would've tied the election, leading to a Trump presidency.

You're right about 2000 though.

"if they did that". Which they didnt, because third parties disproportionately affect democrats.

What are you basing that on? Again, Libertarians lean Republican, just as Greens lean Democrats, Libertarians cost Trump 2020...
