no one is saying they're going to vote for trump. they're saying they won't vote for biden
Lmao, that's the epitome of something that sounds smart but is incredibly stupid when you think about it. Especially in response to this meme.
In FPTP not voting for the chosen democratic representative means one vote less is required for the conservative. It doesn't matter if that's because you added a vote for Democrats, or didn't vote at all. Same for voting 3rd party, it just ensures you get the candidate you want the least.

I voted for Howie in 2020 and Biden won. you don't seem to know how voting works.
Yeah and we could find one person who voted for vermin supreme, Biden still won. What would their point be if they were here, I wonder? Speaking of points, what's yours?
Oh man give me Vermin Supreme. I think he could make a real difference.

Therefore Trump wins. Abstaining is still an action, and still has an effect as much as you want to be above it all on your moral high horse.
I expect to have more choices on my ballot
So is it just sheer stubbornness or do you not care about making the country worse by insisting on splitting the vote?
i only vote for people i want to win. if you vote for anyone regardless of whether you want them to win, then i'd say it's you who is splitting the vote by not voting with the people who have principles.
I wish we had more choices, but I'm smart enough to not expect it out of our broken democracy.
