The same reality that thinking voting for Biden in a rural deep conservative state is going to swing the vote. You can convince every person in the cities to vote democratic and still lose to the country side that state. Voting doesn't work the same for every state, don't shame people for voting their conscious. It's always okay to shame voting for Trump, but don't shame people for voting third party.

It's a trap and not worth it. I'm currently 72TB deep and the rabbit hole does not stop. You buy one drive and the next thing you know you're trying to convince your wife to keep a server rack in the living room. One 4TB drive is a slippery slope my friend. Send help.
Look, at some point the democratic party can take some damn responsibility for running a candidate that has been losing to generic democrats in recent polling. Instead of blaming the voter for voting third party, blame the party for not letting us choose anyone else. If Biden loses, it will be soely the fault of him and the party, not the voter. It's definitely a better option than the other primary party, but you can only run on the platform "we're not them" for so long. No shame in voting for third party and your conscious.
I think we both agree that there are locations and states where it does truly matter. I think where I'd disagree is that it's not applicable for every state. Sometimes it's already decided on where you live. It's better not to shame third party voters in situations like that. The only way to get a third party one day is by starting in locations like that. Though coming from a situation like that, I also understand it's a less stressful election than one that you have a chance of winning. Just not worth shaming others who don't have the option of winning and vote third party for president for their conscious. Still voting blue for everything else though.
