    Not sure if you’re just being intentionally thick or a troll.

    Youre explaining yourself that despite you voting against him, Biden won, and you didn’t want Trump and the person you voted for didn’t win. So your actions gave you the least chance of having a candidate you were aligned with.

    If anything, you are giving proof that it’s a dumb thing to do. But that would be anecdotal evidence, and there’s no need for that.

    If you manually run the results and the effects of 3rd parties, it’s pretty clear that it makes no sense in First Past the Post.

    It’s a thing known as The spoiler effect, or vote splitting and has always been a documented thing that dumb people don’t understand. Who do you think funds these 3rd parties in the first place…

    Youre being played.
