Ideological purity is great from the privileged position you must be in. The real results of Stein voters in the last election is millions losing rights to bodily autonomy, children being forcibly separated from families, a Christian nationalism Supreme Court, and a president playing favorites during the worst pandemic in living memory. There may be some compromises needed to fix a broken system but third parties are not likely to do anything except split the vote and cause harm
Stein and Johnson had between 2 (FL) and 20 (MI) times the number of votes making up the margin between Trump and Clinton in FL, WI, MI, and PA. That would have made a difference.
Either way, no third party is viable under the current system and pretending otherwise is the luxury of people who won’t be targeted if the Trump administration is allowed back into power.
You can dislike Biden, but a vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump.
That’s not how voting works but whatever you need to say to feel better.

Give me a fucking break if you think Hillary Clinton losing is because of Jill Stein

It is the luxury of the profoundly dense as well. Plenty of non-cis white males vote third party.
So you voting for fascist cheeto or brain worms?
I’m voting third party as I have in the general for years. I’ve said this before.
Brain worms it is.
I’m sure your dislike of Biden will make up for Trump declaring himself dictator for life.
Having concerns is fine, but in a 2 party system, not voting for the lesser evil is same as voting for the greater evil.
Trump is even worse for the Palestinians and Ukraine so this is a red herring.
Biden better start working harder to earn more votes then.
By working harder you mean tell more people they have brain worms, right?
no, it’s not.
Yes, it is.
When people say that, they don’t mean it literally, but functionally it’s correct:
A vote for 3rd party is one less potential vote for D, which is functionally equivalent to one more vote for R.
This is true because we are not a democracy. We only pretend to be one.
You’re a flawed democracy with an outdated election system. The FPTP one seat districts forces two party politics.
I hate this line of thinking so much. Flawed democracies are still democracies. Democracy isn’t a word that means “fair elections”.
We’re a republic.
Which is a type of democracy.
While that may be true, nothing will fix that in this upcoming election. Vote Biden, then set to work fixing our democracy.
Popping up every four years and complain about the two party system, only to disappear afterwards is never going to solve the problem.
