A vote for a 3rd party is a vote for the opponent. Everyone says this. I simply do not buy it.
That’s the part you got wrong. The voting system means that no 3rd party has a chance. Therefore you’d effectively abstain. And that means you don’t vote to keep the candidate you hate more out of the office.
And if you really think that Trump isn’t worse in every way to your interests as a leftist, you live in a deep hole under a rock.

Sure but that’s not the question I’m trying to answer. I want to know, what will Biden actually do as president?
