Voting 3rd party or not voting at all helps the person you want the least to be in office.
The issue is the 2 party system that is designed this way. Change the system if you want more choices (ideally by pressuring your party to do it while they are in power)
Edit: to be clear 2 parties is a mathematical certainty under first past the post voting. There are countless other voting systems that don’t suffer from the spoiler effect.

And before anyone comes in and says “THE DUOPOLY WOULD NEVER LET IT HAPPEN”, consider treating political parties more like alliances of like-minded politicians who will absolutely screw each other over for one more term in office rather than some united monolith which acts only in its own interests.
The duopoly makes things harder. It does not make things impossible. Fucking vote. It’s literally the least you can do.

The way I say it: voting 3rd party for progressivism is the biggest self own in history.
