A not totally incompetent trainer of a dead horse would not be stunned how bad the dead horse does.

Yes, he was a white supremacist that opposed slavery and his opponent was a white supremacist that supported slavery. He was still a white supremacist.

Can you provide an example? I checked online stores and everything labeled American cheese was processed cheese.

OK, if you want to look at it that way, it's still the same basic argument, refusing to participate in the party just effectively increases the representation of the people you disagree with.

Consider two scenarios: one where you vote, one where you do not, all else is the same. In the scenario where you vote, the candidate that you vote for, that you least disagree with, has a higher percentage of votes than in the other scenario. In the scenario where you don't vote the candidates that you wouldn't have voted for, the ones you most disagree with, have a higher percentage of votes than in the other scenario.

Not voting is effectively voting for the people you most disagree with.

democrats win this upcoming election, does this mean all the people who didn’t vote had actually voted democrats?

That's a different argument than what I was making. "Not voting is effectively approval of whoever wins." related but not the same.

Do your own personal Instant Runoff. If you think that the third party candidate might win maybe vote for them. If they are basically guaranteed to lose, maybe vote for your next choice.
