That's not what a tautology is, Duverger's Law is a mathematical derivative of First Past the Post election systems. Yes, under FPTP systems, voting third party is equivocating support for both primary parties. Performative ethics without pragmatics is moral masturbation.

Splitting your responses is rhetorically ridiculous.

it is a tautology and saying that it's not doesn't change that. it has exactly no ability to predict the future outcome of any election.

You do not know what a tautology is. You do not know what a false dichotomy is. Your attempt to Gish Gallop is transparent and I won't be wasting any more time with your childishness.
