    Literally throwing away their vote, and helping Trump.

    You cannot have a third party under First Past the Post. It it literally impossible and only aids Trump. So yeah. It’s not awesome to see. It’s aggravating. Because if you advocate for third parties, you’re a stealth Trump supporter pretending to actually care.

      Nah. If I wanted to support Trump, I’d just vote for him. But I didn’t vote for him. I voted third party. Happily! Thank you!

          Claiming that not voting for Harris means supporting Trump is flawed; using that logic, anyone who isn’t voting for Trump must be supporting Harris.

          Voting for a third-party candidate is a choice to support what aligns with your values, not an automatic endorsement of the opposition.

            Welcome to Plurality voting, advocating for third parties is mathematically indistinguishable from advocating for Trump.

            Stop it unless you want Trump to win, in which case, fuck off.
