Voting for Harris is voting for Harris.
Voting for Trump is voting for Trump.

What people mean when thwy say those things is: voting for anyone except Harris increases Trump’s chances of winning compared to a Harris vote. This is trivially true.
Let’s pretend you have 2 people that decide to not vote for candidate A or candidate B.
If candidate A has 50 votes and bad polices for Gaza, and candidate B has 51 votes and even worse policies for Gaza, then by sitting out, those two people have effectively allowed the worse option to win.

Really shows that people weren’t paying attention in Civics class. Zero clue how FPTP and the spoiler effect work.
Okay.
