Every step in the right direction is better than taking no steps at all (or worse, taking steps backwards). In this particular instance, and certainty throughout our nation’s history, voting for a third party in a race with so much at stake, mathematically will help out one particular candidate over another. This is because USA uses a very flawed system of “first past the post” voting. In this instance, Trump obviously benefitted. Voting is taking direct political action. It’s not the only form, but it is arguably the most important form of direct political action in this country. It is the way we make lasting and effective change in this country. You can’t just force change all at once. You gotta put in the work.

Edit: I’d also add that I am very much in favor of reforming our voting system. But it must come through the system we currently have. The alternative is violence and chaos, which I am not in favor of.

It’s a fact that Trump will hurt their cause more than Kamala. Protest all you want. But also vote for whatever may help your cause. I don’t understand why people don’t understand this.
