screenshot from the same article as before; https://www.bu.edu/articles/2024/is-voting-third-party-a-wasted-vote/ oho alt text gives me more characters to work with! Ok so the example given in the article is this: "The pros and cons are the same as in any other race—if one is not voting in a decisive election. The pros are that the voter is likely casting a vote for a candidate they prefer most and is able to send a message in doing so. The cons, especially in a close election, is that they may end up with a worse alternative than the one they most prefer. If a pro-life voter who is unhappy with Trump’s pivot on the issue instead votes for the Constitution Party’s candidate (Randall Terry, an anti-abortion activist) and produces a Harris election in the process, Harris will presumably be worse on abortion than Trump from the perspective of the pro-life voter. These are always the trade-offs that go into third party voting" that's the hypothetical opposite to what we got: some voters prioritize not voting against their morals at all and were willing to gamble that voting for 3rd parties would get Harris/the Dems to react accordingly and change their platform, others main consideration were the likeliest practical outcomes of either candidate being elected, and which of the respective fallout effects would have lower levels of harm/give them the most room to keep pushing the president-elect to *shift their fucking platform to what the majority of voters want already*
