Where's the part where it helps Trump? We supposedly live in a democracy, I'm voicing my opinion.
The part where the reality is we have a plurality voting system ("First past the post") in place today.
We do.
You are.
I'm not saying the rule of law should prevent you from doing what you're doing (I'm not a fan of fascism). However, you're being willfully ignorant if you acknowledge our plurality voting system, but claim your work convincing people not to vote for Biden doesn't also helps Trump become president again.
If the race is neck and neck, and you vote for Micky mouse because you wanna feel superior to everyone around you, all you've done is make things worse.
Depending on your location, you may have directly helped trump.
This may not be as credible as your meme, but CNN points out the “spoiler effects” of third-party candidates. They very rarely even receive a Electoral College vote.
