Let me put it this way: you can hurt one or the other. Pick. 
 @90bf4d25 

If every choice will help one and hurt the other by an equal measure then the decision is clear.

Since all choices are equal reward in that regard then I would pick whatever choice is most helpful to third parties, either during this election or in the future?

So of the three choices, in your universe, if we ignore any benefits/harm to Biden or Trump, which choice would be to the greatest advantage of third parties? 
 @b05df304 

None of that makes sense. The bottom line is that, if you like voting and want your vote to count, you have to vote to preserve democracy. 
 @90bf4d25 What exactly doesnt make sense? I am happy to clarify.

No my vote "counting" doesnt matter, and its a duty not what I like to do... and I dont feel Biden or Trump is a preservation of democracy...

I care about one thing if it comes down to Biden and Trump, what will help third parties have the highest chance of winning in this or a future election.. 
 @b05df304 

Trump has made it painfully clear that his goal is to dismantle democracy. There's no both-siding this. 
 @90bf4d25 Yes he has. Never said he didnt. Either way if either of those two win a second term we wont have democracy left much longer. The fact that one is open and direct aboutit and the other is able to fool people is not much of an argument for me to support him. 
 @b05df304 

That's absurd. Biden is a liberal and has restored our nation after Trump's shitted all over it. Trump is a fascist who will destroy democracy.

You don't have to like Biden, but don't lie about him. We're done here: you've lost all touch with reality.
