    Pulling the environmentalist voters away from Biden doesn't help his opponents?

    the greens are his opponent too. a vote for a green candidate doesn't help the republicans or the democrats.

    And who do you think might consider voting for a Green candidate? Certainly not republicans. There is significant overlap between the democracy crowd and the environmentalism crowd. Thus, a significant chunk of green voters would otherwise be democratic voters.

    then i guess the democrats better shift to capture some of them green voters if they want them.

    That attitude is precisely why we were stuck with Trump from 2017-2020, and why the country is much worse off now because of it.

    I voted for Gary Johnson is 2016 and let me tell you, I learned from my mistake. It seems you have yet to learn that lesson.

    The fact that you keep changing the subject demonstrates that you are not interested in arguing in good faith. The correct course of action is to vote in such a way that your vote influences the outcome positively. By voting for a 3rd party candidate, you are choosing to not influence the result, which is irresponsible.

    you can characterize my vote any way you like. I'll characterize yours as supporting genocide.

    You changed the subject from preventing fascism to nitpicking democrats. That's called whataboutism. You imply that you have no legitimate counter-argument by taking attention away from the point that shatters your argument. A person in the right would have no need for such evasive tactics.
