Please provide us with an example math problem where you the voter, choosing either 1) not to vote or 2) voting 3rd party, does not give the opposing candidate an advantage.
An advantage for who? Rinos are not automatically entitled to a vote. Ergo, they are not ‘disenfranchised’ by what they don’t get or would not have gotten anyway.
If the GOP cant run a winner that can attract voters, that’s their fault. If they lose, it’s their fault. They are not entitled to squat. Blame their RINO for being unworthy of a vote.
