And you continue to employ the fallacy fallacy.

I think asking what you personally risk from a Trump vs Biden presidency speaks to whether your insufferable self-righteousness is gambling with other people's lives at no cost to you.

Be sure and post the screenshot.

That would be foolish, as I've never bet wrong.

It's a good site to collect the money of delusional right-wing crazies. I collected $500 in 2020.

No, I'm sorry, that's dangerously naïve, and a self-serving, solipsistic moral panic. How old are you?

If we used RCV or anything better that winner-take-all, that would be different, or if we had a parliamentary system. But we don't.

Explain and distinguish both, then. I genuinely don't see it.

I'm putting your own words in your mouth. I'm sorry you refuse to accept that splitting opponents votes works. Good luck.

20 is pleasing

30 is hot

That's not what you said. Your original "only" indicates that you think that votes + splitting your opponents votes isn't a strategy.

If splitting votes didn't matter, there wouldn't be so much effort put into gerrymandering. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDMAP

Voting is a practical, strategic act, not an ideological one.
