Your logic only applies to local/state elections. It does not apply to presidential elections.
If you vote 3rd party in a presidential election, you're a fool acknowleging you're incapable of doing basic math and fine with the worst case scenario.
Explain how does it not work? People not voting for the shitty D candidate, causing them to lose to R doesn't create an incentive for D to change course? Do I need to presrnt to you the last two years of intense D soul searching after Kamala lost?
Obvioisly that's part of the calculus. Most who question the lesser evil approach understand this. However you might not understand that no matter how hard you call people fools, that doesn't change the picture for people who've given up on voting for Turd Sandwich. Might even be achieving the opposite. A lot of people are done with the Turd Sandwich status quo and are either staying home or voting Giant Douche. Sounds like you have to give them something better to vote for if you don't want more Giant Douche.
Congrats, you just elected fascists.
I guess you'll have to do something about it then.
I am. I'm trying to teach people how not to support fascists.
