Really you don't need to read more than one chart:
If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you're voting for Trump:

Wait how is a third party vote the same as a trump vote, they’re for different candidates?
Third party votes don’t get counted towards trumps total and the president isn’t elected by popular vote anyway.
Did you READ the original article??
Are you being intentionally dense?
I did read the article.
It doesn’t make a convincing case that a third party vote is the same as a trump vote. That’s why I asked you to explain how you came to that conclusion.
The article also claims third parties can’t possibly expect to get any electoral votes but then says if they did then it could create a situation where the house chooses the president.
If dems want third party voters to support them and are in danger of losing for want of third party voters, dems can simply pick up platforms and policies that third party voters want.
I’m at the point where I’m convinced you’re being willfully dense.
Before you asked about the article, I asked how third party votes are the same as trump votes. I explained that the votes aren’t counted for trump so they can’t be the same and that they are counted so they’re not thrown away.
Instead of asking incredulously if I’d read the posted article, why not just engage with what I’m saying?
Is this your first election?
No. You?
Then grow up
lol. Two party-ailures btfo
