    There’s no magical math equation to find. The math is quite simple.

    You know that, of course.

            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.

              So a 3rd party doesn’t add +1 to Trump’s total vote count?

                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$.
