Does the US not permit Write-In candidates or third parties? Crazy, I could have sworn they did. A miniscule, even infinitesimal chance of winning by voting for a not evil candidate sounds more morally palatable to me than voting for a war criminal. You do you though, I'm quite certain your conscience can handle it.

yes and no. depends on the state, but reality dictates in our current system and with the current candidates every vote for 3rd party will be a tacit vote for trump.

dont vote? thats a vote for trump. vote for a 3rd party? thats a vote for trump.

until we have an actual system that supports 3rd parties we have no choice. because the vote for trump/republicans leads to a system with less parties than 2, not more.

my conscience says i want more parties. my conscience says 'vote less evil not more'.

Third party votes being for Trump is only correct if you assume libertarian votes are for Biden.
