Drone armies, expanded overtime pay and over-the-counter birth control pills are just some of the new things Biden has ushered in as president that you might not have heard about.
The base assumption here is not that you would actually vote for either one, it’s that when given only two choices, you prefer one or the other. The only way that doesn’t hold is if you truly do not care between the two options and it’s a coin flip. If that is true, then the ‘person you hate most between the two’ still benefits, but it’s a coin flip which one it is so you don’t care.
If you prefer Biden over Trump, you are helping Trump by not voting for Biden. And vice versa. Even if you would never vote for any major party candidate, that just means you are always helping the major party candidate you hate the most.
I mean…you tell me your political feelings. It’s not about who won, it’s just who you are helping.
If you hate Trump more than Hillary and you didn’t vote for one of them in 2016, you helped Trump in 2016. If you hate Biden more than Trump and you didn’t vote in 2020 then you helped Biden. But if you hate Trump more than Biden, then you helped Trump in 2020 even though he didn’t win.
I’m not telling you not to vote, I’m telling you the options you have. Help the major party candidate you like the best, or the major party candidate you like the least.
>Assuming you would have voted for Biden if you only had the two major party options
that is not a good assumption: I only vote for candidates if I want them to win.

so I hated trump more than I hated hilary, and I hate biden more than I hate trump? is that the theory?

the only candidate helped by my vote is the candidate I vote for. you are spreading election misinformation.
You’re the one talking about not voting or throwing your vote away.
voting for a candidate who I want to win is not throwing away a vote. such a claim is voter suppression.

i expect to have more options on my ballot. this is more election misinformation.
