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.
