Why not? The post is more likely to drive leftists away from the Democrats than towards them. Maybe these Russians have stopped posing leftists who are trying to convince other leftists not to vote Democrat and instead are posing as centrists in order to alienate leftists. There’s just as much evidence for that theory as there is for any of the other baseless accusations of Russian trolling I’ve seen here.
Technically, there can be a difference, but only if you are a Trump supporter
Wrong. One is exactly twice as bad as the other.
Blanket statements don’t work. How each state allocates votes to electoral college votes varies, and each states political leaning varies.
There are times when not voting or voting third party effectively has no effect or the opposite effect.
These oversimplified takes are tiring and pathetic.
Get better arguments.
Ideally just get proportional representation with something like ranked choice voting and make it possible for 3rd party votes to count for something.
Explain how voting third party could have the “opposite effect”. Opposite of what?
