Oh my God an image macro posted to the political memes board doesn’t have 60 pages of nuanced footnotes explaining how if you’re in Nebraska then your voting system works differently I’m going to literally shit my own pants out of rage
In some places it can be seen as helping one candidate, in other places it can be seen as helping the other. The country isn’t the same everywhere. Some states lean different ways and so it all depends what your vote is countering.
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.
Yeah, you get on that. Go get those changed. Since you make it sound so simple.
