That your statement seems disingenuous in this context because only a vote for Trump helps him win. No one’s vote is owed to any candidate. If people want to vote for a third party that better represents their values (or no candidate - even though I disagree with this position), they should be allowed to do so without active or passive false blame being slung at them that they are somehow enabling the very genocide that they are against.

Not really. This is almost verbatim the trolly problem. And people who are voting 3rd party are in essence standing by and doing nothing as the trolly runs over more people than it otherwise would. You have the power to help prevent harm and you’re doing effectively nothing. You share culpability with Trump voters for that.

I never said otherwise.

If people want to vote for a third party, they should do so in a system where 3rd parties are actually viable, and can be chosen without ceding power to your ideologically furthest opponents. We don’t live in that system. We have to reduce harm where we can, and 3rd party isn’t going to do that, at best it will just split the vote, and cede power to the guy who wants to see Gaza turned to nuclear glass.
More will die under Trump than Harris.
Anyone who is against Israel’s genocide is not voting for Trump.
What’s your point?
