I cringe every time I see this come up.

Because it isn't what you actually mean, and the horrible logic of it makes it easy for the Lemmy Lefties to dunk on.

Of course a 3rd party vote isn't a vote for Trump any more than it is a vote for Kamala.

What it actually is is a discarded opportunity to vote against Trump. Which is also dispicable, but actually accurate.

Everyone knows that's what you mean by this, but the Lemmy Lefties will play dumb and latch onto that logical fallacy every time.

Not everyone lives in a swing state where votes actually matter.

I must have missed that footnote in their rhetoric.

Come on, guy.

Check my history. Vote third party if you don't live in a swing state is literally what I have been saying.

By definition, most people do not live in swing states.

Disclaimers and footnotes are irrelevant.
