Blanket statements don’t work. How each state allocates votes to electoral college votes varies, and each states political leaning varies.
There are times when not voting or voting third party effectively has no effect or the opposite effect.
These oversimplified takes are tiring and pathetic.
Get better arguments.
Explain how voting third party could have the “opposite effect”. Opposite of what?
In some places it can be seen as helping one candidate, in other places it can be seen as helping the other. The country isn’t the same everywhere. Some states lean different ways and so it all depends what your vote is countering.
only if you’re in a swing state. In which case vote tactically. If you’re not in a swing state do not vote trump and do not vote Harris. Instead vote third party there to maybe get a 5% national representation and therefore get more funding for em.
Voting tactics woo.
Also if enough people in California, NY, etc. Vote third party they may deny Harris a popular vote win while still allowing her to win in EC. This would both send a message about ignoring the left and might make it so Republicans start supporting getting rid of the electoral college too.
If both of the parties had an election stolen from them in less then a decade due to this dumb antiquated system maybe they’ll muster some political will to get rid of it.
It’s because of this mentality that the US has this shitty two party system.
