It’s pretty weird to insist on a course of action that won’t result in something you want. If you think both parties are the same, you’re wildly misinformed.

I don’t think anyone suggested both parties are the same.

If they aren’t the same in their view, they they would be sensible to care about which wins. They have a stake in a less harmful result.

But literally throwing away their vote on a third party, they are inflicting harm on themselves, the electorate, and the world.

Who are you talking about?

Third party votes get counted and have an effect. The whole idea of throwing one’s vote away is so nonsensical that it was lampooned in a simpsons bit.

If third party voters are inflicting harm on all the groups you mentioned, does that mean they’re responsible for the harm caused by one or the other party? Would you extend that to people who actively voted for those two parties? To the people enacting those parties policies? Deciding them?

Just how responsible for Bidens genocide in Gaza would you say a person who voted third party or trump in 2020 can be held?
