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?

They did manage that the democrats will never run with hilary again -> If both choices in the current election are shit you can at least try to influence the next one.

Also fuck 'muricas election system. Everything resulting in a 2 Party system is no real democracy.
