Wrong. In some cases, if your district is competitive, and you’ve decided to vote for not-trump, if you vote for anyone but the other competitive candidate (in this case Biden), you allow trump to pull ahead due to first past the post voting.
Edit: hypothetically if only 4 people vote,
2 for trump
1 for Biden
1 for mickey
Trump wins.
Edit edit or more compelling…
5 total voters.
2 for trump 1 for Biden 1 for Mickey and one 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:
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.
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

Biden wins.
You’re already moving the goalposts.
