But you literally just said you don’t agree that not voting for Trump is the same then said it’s practically the same. In literally the next sentence.
3rd party/non voters ARE supporting Trump. They are not providing as much support as someone who actively votes for him, but because of the way FPTP voting works, their actions absolutely benefit the GOP more than the Democratic Party.
Not going to continue this if you insist on this bad faith bullshit. Have a nice day!
Outside of Trump this strategy was largely effective.
