And when the context is Trump or Harris being elected, saying “I’m not voting for Harris” means by default you are supporting Trump.

So if i am saying "I'm not voting for Trump" then what happens? By this logic even if i vote the same third party candidate or not at all, i would be supporting Harris.

The only way this "default" works is if people are expected to vote Democrats. And if that is the default expectation it means they can do whatever they want, with no accountability. Instead of politicians having to win your vote with good politics, the blame gets shifted to the voter for not being loyal to the party. That is gaslighting. And when having these discussions it seems a lot of people were gaslit quite successfully by the party elites.
