Or just go out in November, and vote for Biden.
Nah, just vote for someone other than Trump. If you're in a swing state, sure. But if you're in a state that is extremely likely to vote one way or another (as most are), vote your conscience.
I'm in a deep red state where Biden has almost no chance, so I'm voting for Chase Oliver. He has the widest possible reach of the firmly anti-war candidates we have.
Voting for anyone other than Biden is dumb beyond belief if you want trump to lose.
It's irrelevant in most states. So unless you live in one of the 5-10 swing of states, your vote will not impact the presidential election since the vote gap in your state will probably be >5% one way or another.
So it's far more valuable to show support for a third party so candidates get nervous about spoilers and adjust policies to court those votes.
So unless you live somewhere like Pennsylvania or Michigan where votes can go either way, your vote will matter more if you vote third party.
