Right. So, part of the problem with “Voting third-party means supporting Trump” is that it presumes I would have otherwise voted for Biden.
And I wouldn’t have. Because he’s committing genocide.
(Also, third-party candidates can pull votes away from Trump. Also, even small amounts of support for third-parties can lead to a third-party winning seats in congress if that support is concentrated in particular districts, like college towns, and in an evenly divided congress a few seats can control the balance of power.)
