Bullshit. All conditions I just laid out, were declared in my above comment. Including location dependence.
Edit because you seem to need help… The location dependence I’m referring to is that you need to be in a sufficiently competitive location for that clause to be relevant.
you said a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for trump. you’re backing away from that now, softening the claim to say it “allows him to pull ahead”. I’m just trying to keep the rhetoric honest.
I was always clear that the act of voting for 3rd party/ spoiler candidates can result in a situation where trump pulls ahead by your vote’s absence. I never said it was a literal vote for trump.
This is basic decision making and it’s very concerning you can’t grasp it.
you said it helps trump, but only a vote for trump helps trump. you’re spreading election misinformation. if it takes this much nuance to try (and still fail) to make your claims true, try just being intellectually honest.
You don’t understand first past the post voting and basic decision making. The fact that you dont understand absolute basic first past the post voting, for a country you might actually live in is hilarious.
I understand the story you’re telling about fptp, and I am telling you it’s a myth. the fact that you are passing along this received wisdom with so little scrutiny speaks volumes about your own critical thinking skills. to land on an appeal to ridicule as your coup de grace is just the finishing touch one might expect.
You’re obviously just baiting, but for readers on, I’ll post this hyper simplified situation I commented already.
5 total voters.
2 for trump 1 for Biden 1 for Mickey and 1 abstains
Trump wins.
If the mickey and the abstain voters don’t want trump, their best action was to vote for Biden, as that would have achieved:
2 for trump
3 for Biden
0 for mickey.
Biden wins.
In competitive locations, votes are a scarce resource.
By not voting for Biden, you have helped trump, and not achieved your own voting goal all the while. You never voted for trump, but your actions aided his victory.
If the race is neck and neck, and you vote for Micky mouse because you wanna feel superior to everyone around you, all you’ve done is make things worse.
Depending on your location, you may have directly helped trump.
That does not say “a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for trump”… There are explicit conditionals that you’re ignoring lol
