Moderates would rather lose to fascists than compromise with leftists and progressives.

I live in a solidly red state. The odds of it flipping in the next 20 years is nil. If I vote 3rd party, it

  1. tells the entrenched parties that I'd rather have a lunatic than either of their candidates and
  2. cause more infighting in the RNC as they will assume the lost vote was meant for them.

If you want to cause infighting in the RNC, organise a campaign to write in the name of some other Republican. Mitt Romney, or Liz Cheney.

Sad that the system disincentives people in safe states to take their vote seriously. I get it, though. I protest voted in a safe state in 2016. Just... remember that if things go south, the knowledge that your vote was pointless doesn't always erase all of the guilt.

Your third party vote count will be below the lizardman constant and will be ignored.

Everyone ignores the lizard people until they can no longer be ignored 🦎🦎
