    Voting for 3rd party is quite literally throwing your vote away. They don’t stand a chance to win, and voting for them would effectively be the same as not voting, because of America’s shit FPTP voting system. And therefore, you’d give Trump a higher chance to win, because your vote wouldn’t help Kamala. And if Trump wins, the genocide will get worse. Much worse.

      That’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Your whole argument would be like a German in 1930s saying they just have to vote for the nazis because that’s the only option on the table. If you don’t see the absurdity of that then you’re beyond all hope.

        There wasn’t only one option in Germany. If I was a german in the 1930s I’d vote for a party that didn’t plan to commit mass genocide and didn’t say that Jews are the root cause of all problems. Even if that party sucked, it’d suck less than Nazis. This is harm reduction and it is the best approach in such situations.
