  • It doesn’t count because a 3rd party candidate will never win.

    It can decide an election because it’s removing a vote from the candidate closest to you who is actually electable.

    Let’s say you think taxation is theft, but you can’t vote for Trump because “reasons”. You vote Libertarian.

    You’ve taken your vote from Trump and given it to a candidate with no chance.

    Harris +50
    Trump +49
    Libertarian +1

    Flip it around, you support Roe vs. Wade but you can’t vote for Harris because “reasons”. You vote Green.

    You’ve taken your vote away from Harris and given it to a candidate with no chance.

    Trump +50
    Harris +49
    Green +1

    In neither case will it ACTUALLY be that close, but you get the idea.
