This is just not true voting third party or not voting means you are voting third party or not voting. This reasoning is senseless so if I vote Lu Cruz I'm helping Trump, Harris, Stein, etc.. all win no I'm not. No reason to vote for a candidate who will run fascistic policies which Trump and Harris both will. Electoralism is a dead end in broken system built to maintain the status quo.

Abstentionism isn't praxis. It's a losing strategy given the current state of politics; even a cursory examination reveals this to be true.

If your politics incorporates electoralism you have already failed.

you're only kidding yourself. the election doesn't give you points for process. it only gives you outcomes. and as things are right now in the US, there are two. you either contribute to outcome 1 or outcome 2. there is no other kind of action.

This is all true, except in a bubble where you use first past the post voting.

You're talking about sane elections. Americans live in a edge case:

I sure wish more of these people that are all hung up on an issue would vote in the primaries. You know, where you have at least a slim chance of changing things.
