It really depends on which state you live in whether or not you have the luxury of a protest vote. If you live in NY state that has a 20% lead for Harris, sure, some people can vote Jill Stein or something. But if you live in a state that actually might be close or not an obvious blowout, you can't vote that way. You actually have to be tactical with your vote, not idealistic or symbolic.

Back in 2000 I traded my vote for Nader in a swing state with someone in a solidly blue state. We should do that now.

Sure, more Palestinians will die

Sure, Ukrainians will die

Sure, US minorities will die

Sure, the entire world will suffer from a fascist demagogue at the head of the most powerful country in the world

But have you considered that, for a few brief moments of time, ~~we created a lot of value for the shareholders~~ we got to feel smug over the SHITLIBS who wanted to prevent fascism?
