You sure can if you believe that making an insignificant point in a ballot box is worth more than the actual lives of people who would die because of a Trump administration but not under a Harris one. But if you want to make an actual difference. the ballot box is one of the very few times you need to hold your nose and do the uncomfortable thing of choosing liberalism over fascism.

You can vote for fascism if that's what you want, I reject it.

But if you're okay with fascism, sure. Go and make your vote a spoiler that helps the fascists win. I'm sure the people who die because doctors who were scared to provide medically necessary abortions will be grateful that you did the morally superior, but entirely ineffective, thing.

You're voting fascism in, the Dems have failed for half a century to codify abortion rights because they don't care.

You're literally making the choice to put fascism in power. I'm trying to stop you from making the same mistake I made in 2016.

You're literally voting for fascism, not sure what you mean here.

you keep saying "vote" as if it means the same thing in a ranked-choice voting system and a first-past-the-post voting system.

newsflash: you're not making the difference you claim you're making. if anything, you're making it worse. congratulations! good job! you did it! you get a good star!

Not sure what you're getting at here, RCV or FPTP, doesn't make a difference, electoralism is useless.
