    No, that’s not how it works. It would be the same as not voting at all, since RFK has no chance of winning.

    Vote for Biden if you want to stop Trump.

      It depends on the state. If it’s a purple state or a state where they do ranked-choice voting, then this is right and a vote for Biden is helpful.

      If OP is in a solid red state, he can vote for any alternative candidate and it won’t matter which alt candidate he chooses since Trump will already have it locked up.

      The only asterisk is if abortion is on the ballot as a statewide measure. That can take a red state (like Kentucky) and turn out enough voters to temporarily make it blue.

        Every state is a purple state. If all the voters who usually stay home voted, any state could go for Biden.

        I was under the impression that the OP wanted to vote tactically, but if that isn’t relevant in their particular state, then they should vote their preference.

        Since RJK is an unhinged anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist, I would suggest voting for Biden, since it may move the needle for future elections.

        I guarantee you Biden will outperform RFK in every state, including Wyoming and Missippi.

        Voting for RFK helps him pass the threshold for federal party funding and effectively gives money to a nut.

      Sounds like you support the 2-party state. Same shit coin, just different sides.
