    Trump - 50 000 votes

    Biden - 50 001 votes with you

    or

    Trump - 50 000 votes

    Biden - 50 000 votes

    3rd - 1 vote (you)

      No one owes votes to Biden by default. This math doesn’t add to Trump’s rally. You’re saying @Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com is automatically a Biden voter, but changing their mind would take votes away from Biden. At no point is Trump gaining anything from this.

      No one votes for candidates by default. No one owes politicians votes.

        I am both voting for and not voting for Biden somehow and it’s pissing me off the general population is this stupid.

        Feds, I’ve committed voter fraud apparently. You know what to do.

      If you can write out the math where I, voting 3rd party, add a vote to Trump’s tally, and I will personally give you one billion dollars.
