There are 3 options:

  • A vote for Trump
  • A vote against Trump
  • A throwaway vote.

To vote against Trump, you vote for Biden. To throw it away, you vote for a 3rd party, and admit you're fine with a Trump presidency.

But of course you knew that.

    Dems - whinging about not being fascists but refusing to call a third party vote a third party vote because it doesn't fit their misinformation campaign that Republicans are fine and leftists are the real enemy.

    So a 3rd party doesn't add +1 to Trump's total vote count?

    A 3rd party votes subtracts one vote from Biden's total vote count, so to say. Here is the 1M$ math equation you desire (assuming you would usually vote for Biden):

    Definitions:

    (I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden

    (II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + YourVote (Scenario where you vote for Biden)

    (III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes (Scenario where you vote for a 3rd party)

    Calculations:

    (II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + Yourvote =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = EveryoneElsesVotes (III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = VotesBiden2

    (I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden

    VoteDifference1 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden1 VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden2

    =〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - (VotesBiden1 - Yourvote) =〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump + YourVote - VotesBiden1 (!!!)

    THUS WE CONCLUDE:

    In scenario 2 (which is the one in which you vote for a 3rd party), the vote difference (which determines who won and by how much), is EQUIVALENT to one additional person voting for Trump. You're welcome. I don't even need the 1.000.000$.

    Of course not, that's a false premise.
