    ^Republican voter trying to generate apathy. Or worse, someone who actually believes voting 3rd party is not handing a vote to the fascist party.

        Strategic voting in the general is required. Saying otherwise is a lie. Or idiocy. You can choose.

          I agree strategic voting is a good thing. I never said or implied it isn’t. But it seems like your trying to straw-man me here.

          Please explain how not voting for someone = handing someone else a vote.

          To put it in another context, if I say I don’t want to go to applebee’s, does that mean I’m supporting going to olive garden? Here’s another one. If a republican withholds voting for trump in the general, does that mean they are handing a vote to biden even if they don’t vote for president at all?
