No disagreement here! I’m obviously a fan of practical considerations in casting a vote.
Like I said, swing state here. I wonder what I would have done if I were in one of the darkest blue or red states. Voting for the actual best third party platform would probably be my default for President, but Trump is so bad that I’m not sure how I would approach it.
But everything down the ballot matters too. If one of Trump’s enablers had even a slim chance of victory I would want to vote for their highest polling opponent (within reason, all else being equal, etc).

And what is down the ballot? Local governors? You don’t just vote for the president in the presidential election?
