@evan strongly disagree, and this viewpoint is *demonstrably* false. it highly depends on which state you're in, how close the percentages are between the top two candidates, and whether you would have otherwise voted for a different candidate. a vote for a third party presidential candidate is a vote for a third party presidential candidate. no more, no less. if the margins are thin enough that you have to worry about third party candidates, then worry about your own candidate being weak.

@evan to demonstrate why the viewpoint is false:
- if someone considering voting for trump instead votes for a third party, then how is voting for a third party a vote for trump? or does it suddenly become a vote for harris? what if they live in alabama, which regularly goes ~64% republican? does their vote make a difference? does voting itself make a difference? where is the energy and enthusiasm for making a difference outside of election season?i ask anyone who believes this to reconsider.
