Or, they might vote Republican. In 2016, Clinton was na clear establishment candidate and Trump was a (fake) populist. Voters who went Green or Libertarian as a vote against the establishment were unlikely to swing to Hillary.

I'm not sure that dynamic still holds now. The MAGA faithful think Trump is a populist, but I don't think anyone else does.
