It’s relevant because those third party candidates are literally, mathematically incapable of reaching 270 electoral votes.
If you vote for one of them, you are not voting. Those two actions will be equivalent this election. And if you don’t vote, and Donald Trump wins, you’re gonna find out real quick what genocide can look like.
I’m still proudly voting third party though. I’m not going to fall for the Duopoly pressure. People are finally getting sick of both parties. Now they are starting to do something about it.
Who? The few thousand protest voters? They will never win in our electoral college, it’s quite literally impossible unless a third party completely takes over one of the two major parties (which is not happening this election, so all these protest voters will just elect Trump by default). It’s not pressure, it’s common sense.
I already know what genocide looks like. Are you denying that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians right now?
As I said in another comment, my vote has no influence over the outcome anyway because I don’t live in a swing state, so your argument is moot. Unless you’re trying to tell me that Illinois will be the pivotal state that decides the election.
I have no expectations whatsoever that a third party is going to win this election, obviously. But the idea that it’s impossible for a third party to win is a self-fulfilling prophesy. Given the absolute necessity of unseating the genocidal bourgeois parties, and the fact that nothing is lost by doing it, I can see no reason whatsoever why I wouldn’t vote for a third party over the Democrats.
I’m not “pretending not to understand” anything. I understand your position completely, I just disagree with it, and you don’t seem capable of comprehending that.

Why do I even engage. Have fun.
