And depending on your county/state, your vote will do nothing, or help trump. Enjoy.
my vote will add one to the vote total of the candidate for whom i vote. unless that person is trump (it won't be), then i am voting against trump.
That's fun fairy time, but it isn't reality. You need to research how game theory, and the availability (or lack) of true choice works.
You are literally at the precipice of "do I like the giant douche, or the turd sandwich". You cannot have anything else.
Edit in some cases (location dependant) chosing a third means you implicitly choose the distant other
I.e. if the third is closer to Biden than trump (even if very different, it's all about proximity), then you helped trump.
Another flavor: if your district is highly contested, and a trump win is close, a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote FOR trump. You are feeding the uncertainty of contest.
this is election misinformation. only a vote for trump is a vote for trump
You'll need to defend that. It's not supported empirically or theoretically.
That is the shortest vision you could possibly have. True crabs in a bucket brain.
you're spreading election misinformation. a vote for cornel west cannot be counted as a vote for trump.
Dude, they fully explained it to you, how are you still not getting it?
they're fully explaining a mistruth.
