if the third is closer to Biden than trump (even if very different, it’s all about proximity), then you helped trump.

wrong. only a vote for trump helps trump

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

saying this doesn't make it true

You are in a constrained system.

no, i'm not. it's fundamentally dishonest to tell someone they are.

depending on where you live, your may have helped that along.

i will not be helping either of them.

All m discussing is the next vote. Pretty shitty behavior to try to shift things like that.

i think it's shitty to try to browbeat people into voting for immoral candidates. or to narrow the scope of the discussion to only one facet and ignore all the other outcomes and impacts.

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

if all you can see is the winner of the presidency in 2024, you have a miopic view. there are many possible outcomes and many possible futures, and who wins the election in november is inconsequential to almost all of it.

if game theory dictated human behavior, and if you are right about the options and outcomes, then no one would vote third party. so either you're wrong about the options and outcomes, or game theory doesn't dictate human behavior

You cannot have anything else.

i will not do something immoral like vote for biden or trump.

game theory

game theory does not actually describe how people do or should act. it is an academic exercise that you should leave to the academy

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.

i'm going to be voting for cornel west or jill stein (or de la cruz if someone can convince me). but i won't be voting for fascists.
