And let's not pretend that the US isn't a two-party system.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Your choices are Trump or Biden.

And I'm voting for Biden.

Then why are you campaigning for Trump?

One can dislike Biden without liking Trump.

Question: Does this heightened level of nuance transfer onto a FPTP voting system?

Answer: absolutely not.

Your comment should read "One can dislike Biden without demanding voters elect a bigger dipshit"...

But it doesn't.

This whole thing of "you need to lie about the facts to make one side look way better than they are or else you are campaigning for the other side" thing needs to go. It just needs to go. It isn't fooling anyone, and it just makes everyone doing it come across as idiots. Own your stance, be honest about what we can all see, and try to explain why you feel like you do from base reality. I know you've been told it makes you a traitor or whatever, but it simply doesn't. It makes you come across as a genuine person, and it makes the things you say have more weight.
