      There are 3 options:

      • A vote for Trump
      • A vote against Trump
      • A throwaway vote.

      To vote against Trump, you vote for Biden. To throw it away, you vote for a 3rd party, and admit you’re fine with a Trump presidency.

      But of course you knew that.

        Dems - whinging about not being fascists but refusing to call a third party vote a third party vote because it doesn’t fit their misinformation campaign that Republicans are fine and leftists are the real enemy.

          A 3rd party votes subtracts one vote from Biden’s total vote count, so to say. Here is the 1M$ math equation you desire (assuming you would usually vote for Biden):

          Definitions:

          (I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden

          (II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + YourVote (Scenario where you vote for Biden)

          (III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes (Scenario where you vote for a 3rd party)

          Calculations:

          (II) VotesBiden1 = EveryoneElsesVotes + Yourvote =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = EveryoneElsesVotes (III) VotesBiden2 = EveryoneElsesVotes =〉VotesBiden1 - YourVote = VotesBiden2

          (I) VoteDifference = VotesTrump - VotesBiden

          VoteDifference1 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden1 VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - VotesBiden2

          =〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump - (VotesBiden1 - Yourvote) =〉VoteDifference2 = VotesTrump + YourVote - VotesBiden1 (!!!)

          THUS WE CONCLUDE:

          In scenario 2 (which is the one in which you vote for a 3rd party), the vote difference (which determines who won and by how much), is EQUIVALENT to one additional person voting for Trump. You’re welcome. I don’t even need the 1.000.000$.
