    Barely anyone voted for third parties. I have much more blame for the people who didn’t bother voting than the people who voted third party.

    I’ll also call out that “not bothering” ignores that a huge sect of the public gets their vote falsely purged, or has their polling location closed, or some other voter suppression tactic.

      True, but I also read that the non voters were also about evenly split, it’s not like only the anti trump people stayed home.

      He just had the popular advantage, mostly an indictment of the then status quo rather than an endorsement of Trump or indictment of Biden.
