In many countries, third parties are very viable. In this particular election, in the US, they are not.

Game theory happens to humans weather they acknowledge it or not. What you are experiencing is the illusion of choice in an outcome constrained system.

there is no point in bickering about this. go read the wikipedia article and argue with the editors there.

Agree. You WILL see Biden or trump as the next president. Depending on where you live, your may have helped that along. You may not like what your helped.

I am not wrong. You are in a constrained system. You have no extra choices. Believe what you like, live with what you do.

Edit you've not once suggested a meaningful rebuttal. You're position is without merit.

i will not be helping either of them.

Again, you don't understand being choice limited. Depending on where you live, doing nothing will help trump.

That's fine, just be aware of your actions. That's the game theory. Even not voting is a choice.

only a vote for trump helps trump
