The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to "Leftists who won't vote" & "MAGA Republicans" teaming up to "getting revenge on liberals".

The only way in the US system to throw a protest vote without it being a spoiler vote is to vote for the 3rd party which siphons votes from the candidate you want the least.

So since you prefer Biden over Trump, you should be voting for the libertarian candidate instead of West.

this is a lie. the votes don't belong to biden. they belong to me. if i give it to someone, it's not taking it from anyone else.

voting isn't a protest, so this term makes no sense.
