Naw, It totally depends on how you downvote Democrats.
The majority of the anti-magats know the Democrats suck. We also know that the magats suck worse, and then the green and libertarians worse yet.
If you give any form of indication that you think the Democrats are worse than the magats, That's a downvote.
Most of the existing Democrats aren't particularly cozy with the Democratic leadership, or honestly even with the full scope of their intent, But the f if we're going to not download you for promoting something worse.
"Greens are worse than Republicans" is a fucking dog brained take
The Green Party does basically nothing but hoover up donations and eat a small proportion of Democratic votes. They put a candidate in, don't put any money behind them, barely get any media, and people hardly even hear about the candidate until election day.
To be completely honest, I'm thinking the only reason they actually make it to the finish like is that the republicans quietly throw them enough money to help dilute the democratic vote.
The Antivax form Stein, Anti-trans from Ware. If they got in, it would be better than Trump, but they have 0 chance, all they're there to do it cut off a few percent (which damn well might have let trump walk in).
We can't have a 3rd party make it in until we either change the laws, or we have billionaires funding them and pitchforks in the street.
So yes, the Green Party leaders (possibly) inadvertently make it easier for Trump to get in and have no chance of doing anything but diluting a party that has a decent chance of winning and provides 9/10 of the ticket the Green Party wants to put on display.
edit: actually give you some meat for my arguments.
And that's worse than the Republicans
The fake storefront that exists solely to enable the Republicans. So, yes.
Dog brained
