It will split both sides' vote, just like every other independent does.

He's traditionally a democrat though, and the most likely supporter is the person who's generally democrat but doesn't buy into the "blue no matter who" pilosophy that got Biden into office, meaning he's likely to have more impact on Bidens ticket.

Personally I'm hoping that the fanboy base behind trump has been been reduced by trump having disenfranchised some of the more centric types, leaving just the odd zealot base (and frankly, I simply don't understand that support base at all, it's just a weird ass quasi-religious cult that reminds me of jonestown) . Good chance we might see a lot of that come out as a record breaking indie vote, which would not really be the mechanism you're describing, but would be the outcome you describe...

I didnt vote for either of these clowns in 2020 (went with JoJo) and I'm sure as fuck not voting for either this time. I'll once again be part of the 1% that's willing to say that both options are bullshit when I hit the ballot box. Hopefully a lot more people go that route, and while a Biden win would be better than a trump/desantis/abbot (I don't really differentiate these...) win, I'm not gonna be party to saying Biden is acceptable. He's not. He's less shit than the current red team offerings, but he's not in any way not a shitty option...
