None of the above. I understand how this country's electoral system works. I'm also a socialist farthest thing that could be from a fascist.
Did you just throw a bunch of random questions out there because you're a dumbass? Just kidding, I already know the answer is yes 🤣
Counterproductive to what genocide?
Basic logic. Third parties aren't viable in American presidential elections because of the spoiler effect present in our FPTP system. That means that you're happy to say you're voting third party because 1. You don't understand this basic fact 2. You do understand this basic fact, but it doesn't bother you because enabling the fascist voting block by throwing your vote away pleases you. 1 is self-explanatory, 2 is explained by either being a fascist yourself, or by being masochistically pleased by enabling fascists against your interests.
Being an actual socialist, who is against fascism, is incompatible with voting third party. Which means you either don't understand the electoral system (ignorant) or you do but you're enabling the fascist genocide accelerationists anyway (counterproductive).
Once again, splitting the vote to try to "teach the Democrats a lesson" is precisely what the Republicans want, since it increases their chances of winning. Another thing the Republicans want, once they win, is to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth, which is objectively worse for Palestinians (total-genocide) than Democrats (historic status quo of mild genocide). Total casualties are presently a relatively small proportion of Palestinians, that proportion will increase significantly under the MAGA administration.
MAGA increases genocide, splitting left vote to third party enables MAGA. Voting third party is counterproductive to fighting Palestinian genocide, Q.E.D.
Whose alt account are you? Don't you get your pay docked for being this obvious?
