    Sure… the difference is the Trump block is monolithic. Nothing is going to convince a Trump voter to switch their support, or stay home.

    The Democratic side has always been subject to fragmentation in a way that the Republican side has not.

    So the risk is peeling off Biden voters for Kennedy, Stein, or West, or simply saying “I’m not voting.”

    If your intent is to maximize the most beneficial outcome, vote Biden.

    If you want to change how elections work, get your state to go 100% vote by mail to increase turn out, and ranked choice balloting to kill first past the post elections.

    Voting for a 3rd party or Independent only splits the vote and guarantees a Trump win.
