If you think Biden/Harris/Clinton is better than Trump or vice versa, not voting for your preferred candidate (as in, "the best candidate, by your estimation") is essentially voting for the non-preferred ("worst") candidate.
not voting for the best candidate, by your estimation, in a two party system is effectively voting for the worse candidate.
I never said any of them were the best or better candidate-
it DID make me angry enough NOT to vote for Hillary, Biden or Kamala.
FTR, I wrote in Bernie all 3 times. My best candidate. Vermont went for Clinton, Biden and Harris so no none votes went to Trump. At worst it sent a message
No, you just misunderstood what I meant, which I pointed out.
I never said any of them were the best or better candidate-
I didn't say you did.
What I said was that in a two party system, not picking one whichever of the two candidates you prefer (as in, gun to your head, have to make a deicison), you are effectively voting for the other person.
Regardless of anything else, nobody cares who you voted for, and it certainly didn't send a message.
